An LAPD officer has been arrested on suspicion of multiple sexual assaults, authorities said Wednesday.
Officer William Rodriguez, a 10-year veteran of the LAPD who most recently was assigned to the Valley Traffic Division, was taken into custody Tuesday and relieved of his police powers.
The investigation stemmed from a November report of a sexual assault involving an acquaintance and led to the discovery of Rodriguez’s involvement in a second sexual assault in August 2015, officials say. Both incidents occurred while Rodriguez was off-duty. Rodriguez was identified through a combined DNA index system, or a “cold hit” DNA match, authorities said.
“When one of our own breaks the trust of the people, we are sworn to protect and serve, it tarnishes the badge we all wear proudly on our chests. This arrest reflects our commitment to pursue every lead no matter where the investigation takes us,” LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore said in a statement.
