SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A San Antonio police officer is accused of handcuffing and raping a 19-year-old woman in a case decried by the police chief.
Officer Jackie Len Neal, an 11-year member of the department, was placed on paid administrative leave as a sexual assault case against him is pending.
“I can’t express in words how disappointed and angry I am about this. I am at a loss for words,” Chief William McManus told reporters over the weekend, according to the San Antonio Express-News. “I am outraged. This is a punch in the eye to the Police Department.”
