A Chicago police officer has been accused of the sexual assault of a minor and he has been charged with felony criminal sexual assault. An article posted by the Chicago Tribune stated that the officer, Eugene Ciardullo, aged 51 was arrested in his home by officers from the Chicago police department. It later emerged that he was also employed as a security guard at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Studies where he befriended the girl. They exchanged contact information and communicated through the summer of her sophomore year (Briscoe, 2017). Their relationship went on to become physical from February until December 2016. They had various encounters with some being in empty parking lots and motel rooms throughout the duration of their relationship. It also emerged that the accused officer told the victim that he would lose his job, as well as, face jail time if they were caught. Additionally, the victim was instructed by the officer to say that they were just good friends to anyone who inquired about the nature of their relationship (Briscoe, 2017). …show more content…
Should the defendant post bail, he will be ordered to surrender his passport and any firearms that he may have in his possession. Furthermore, Ciardullo is not allowed to have any communication or contact with any persons under the age of 18. This includes being barred from the internet (Briscoe, 2017). An investigation of the incident is being conducted by the Internal Affairs Office. After the investigation is complete, appropriate disciplinary measures will be given to the officer. As a police officer, Ciardullo has accumulated 40 or more complaints including excessive force and multiple personnel violations. As a consequence, he has served a ten day suspension from the police department due to some of those violations (Briscoe,

In October of 1993, R.D.S., a Nova Scotian Black youth, was arrested by a white police officer and charged with assault on a police officer in the execution of duty, assault with intent to prevent the lawful arrest of another, and resisting his own arrest. In a Nova Scotia Youth Court, R.D.S. testified that he did not touch the police officer or assault him in any way. He stated that he spoke only to his cousin, who was being arrested by Constable Steinburg, to ask the nature of his arrest and whether or not to contact his mother. R.D.S. testified that Constable Steinburg told him to either "shut up" or face arrest. The youth argued that the police officer proceeded to place both himself and his cousin in a choke hold. Constable Steinburg maintained that R.D.S. assaulted him and obstructed his cousin's arrest. He made no reference to telling the youth to shut up or to placing either youth in a choke hold. (1)
On March 20th, 2018, I conducted an interview with J2018-0568B at the Butler County Juvenile Office. Prior to any questioning, J2018-0568B was read and explained the juvenile Miranda Warning by Juvenile Officer Salyer. J2018-0568B was accompanied by his grandmother (legal guardian) and his brother's girlfriend (power of attorney) during the interview.

was taken out of class after suspected of committing two break-in robberies. Investigator DiCostanzo did not read him the Miranda Warnings and did not call a legal guardian to be present during questioning. J.D.B instantly denied his involvement, but after DiCostanzo warned that he may face juvenile detention, he confessed. After the confession DiCostanzo told him he could refuse to answer any further questions and leave. “J.D.B nodded and provided further detail, including information about the location of the stolen items. Eventually J.D.B wrote a statement, at DiCostanzo’s request” (J.D.B. v. North Carolina) it was after the confession that DiCostanzo told J.D.B that he could refuse any further questions, but he hadn’t told him this previously. Following the questioning J.D.B. was charged for breaking and entering, and
This paper will go through the first arrest that a new police officer did while responding to a house break in. It will show what a FTL would say to the new officer on how they did with the situation after the arrest. We will identify four issues during the arrest that related to the Miranda Laws. Then, we will try and relate these issues to a historical case. Later, we will carefully analysis the situation and see if we could resolve the issues or not. We will then go over how these issues could have been prevent from happening.
Christy Brzonkala was allegedly raped by Antonio Morrison and James Crawford. After multiple school hearings found Morrison guilty, he appealed his punishment of a two semester suspension and the school found it “excessive.” Brzonkala eventually dropped out of school.
This case is a “he said – she said” situation. It is unclear who initiated the relationship to begin with. Many relationships between professors and students “occur between male faculty members, frequently older and married, and female students” (Lane, 2006, p. 2) such as this one. The professor denying the sexual relationship may or may not have prevented a scandal. The student, if infatuated, may have filed a sexual complaint in retaliation for refusing to have a relationship with her. If the professor had rejected the relationship, he may have thought the student would falsely accuse him of sexual harassment. However, since the relationship did occur, he may not have believed he was doing anything wrong or thought he was “above” the
I chose to do my ride along with the Lexington Police Department. The police officer that I got to ride along with was Officer Ernesti. Officer Ernesti has an associates degree in criminal justice. After high school he attended Southeast Community College in Lincoln. He says that he wished he chose a different field to study. The reason is was because he got in a fight with a suspect and injured his arm. He was afraid that he did something severe to his arm that he would not be able to perform any police duty. If he would have had a different degree he could have fallen back to something that does not relate to criminal justice. Before getting hired by the Lexington Police Department in January of 2014 he worked in Gosper County for two years. During his time at Gosper County he was a K-9 handler.

On the second date, Calle knew something was different with him. Later that evening, her date raped her in her car. He wrapped the seatbelt around her neck, and bit her. He said things like, “you deserve this,” and “you should have expected this.” He called her a murder.
“In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit….” This short monologue is the opening for Dick Wolf’s fictional television show, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. This show follows the detectives of the Sixteenth Precinct in Manhattan, New York City through their lives and the cases they work day after day. In this unit, it is Detective Olivia Benson who has inspired me with her dedication and strength to her job and the real life connections that have been created from this character.

In the course of the transcript we were to read for class, the officer posed as a 12-year-old girl. To convince the predator jazzeman04 that he was talking to a 12-year-old girl the officer placed a deceptive picture on “her” profile. The officer was also keen on the current chat lingo, and communicated in the same manner a girl of her age would talk. There were also many references to dealing with her mother being at home or calling her repeatedly on the telephone. Lastly, the officer actually communicated with predator on the phone to try to convince him that he was indeed talking to a young girl.
