Chicago’s former interim police Supt. Fred Waller pushed to keep an officer on the police force after an independent oversight agency found he sexually assaulted a woman following a night of partying.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability found that the officer engaged in a series of nonconsensual sexual acts against the woman, who quickly reported that he attacked her when she fell asleep at her home in Oak Lawn after they attended a banquet in March 2020.
