A former Ohio vice cop accused of demanding sex from women in exchange for their freedom has pleaded guilty on federal charges related to kidnapping, after being cleared earlier this year of murder and voluntary manslaughter charges in a similar but separate incident.
Andrew Mitchell, a longtime officer with the Columbus Division of Police, has pleaded guilty to two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law and one count of obstruction of justice. Prosecutors have recommended he be sentenced to seven to 11 years in federal prison.
