LAPD sexual assult? Woman thrown from moving squad car, claims abuse (VIDEO)
- 10 years ago
Caught on camera: Woman who suffered horrific injuries after falling from LAPD police car is now suing for sexual assault and negligence.
A young woman who received a concussion and a mouth full of smashed teeth when she tumbled from a moving police car last March is suing the Los Angeles Police Department, alleging she was sexually assaulted while cuffed before the horrifying ejection, which left her hospitalized for weeks.
It was 2 a.m. on March 17. Kim Nguyen and two male friends had been drinking in a Los Angeles restaurant when police stopped the trio on the street.
Arresting only Nguyen for public intoxication, police bailed her into a squad car and drove off leaving her friends behind.
Nguyen claims a an officer moved into the back seat and then slid his hand to the inside of her left thigh and tried to force her legs open before pulling down her top hand and grabbing at her breasts, according to court documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times. She says the officer then yanked her ear in order to face her as he groped her body.
Nguyen has no memory of how she fell from the car. She was cuffed but the cops never buckled her seatbelt. The video shows the police car driving at speed through an intersection just after 3 a.m. Nguyen falls from the car, shattering her jaw. The camera pans to her motionless body, her face a bloody mess.
Her jaw wired shut for several days and fearing reprisals from the LAPD, it was days in hospital before Nguyen reported the alleged attack. Doctors observed extensive bruising on her inner thigh.
The officers' official account to paramedics has been brought into question and an internal investigation has been opened. Meanwhile, the officers involved remain in the field.
