Three cops will face a misconduct investigation more than four years after they forced a then 15-year-old Black girl to expose her "intimate parts" during an "unjustified" strip-search at her school.

On Dec. 3, 2020, Kristina Linge, Victoria Wray and Rafal Szmydynski strip-searched a teen girl, referred to only as Child Q, because they believed she was carrying cannabis. The girl was forced to remove her clothing, underwear and a sanitary pad. She was then asked to spread her buttocks and cough, The Guardian reported. No drugs were found.
