CHICAGO — A complaint submitted Thursday to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability spurred an internal Chicago Police investigation into allegations of at least one officer having sexual contact with a migrant housed at a West Side police station.
In a statement issued Friday, COPA first deputy chief administrator Ephraim Eaddy said the agency alerted CPD internal affairs upon receipt of the complaint.
“While COPA investigators are currently determining whether the facts and details of this allegation are substantiated, we want to assure the public that all allegations of this nature are of the highest priority and COPA will move swiftly to address any misconduct by those involved,” Eaddy said in the statement.
