Woman sent undercover into drug house was raped twice and police failed to intervene

A woman working undercover was raped while conducting an operation for law enforcement and wearing a hidden microphone and camera. Not only did her handlers not intervene or protect her from the attack, but she was also charged with an unrelated crime mere weeks later.

The heinous assault on 13 January 2021 went unnoticed by Louisiana’s Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies who were down the street from the alleged rape. The assailant was reportedly Antonio Jones — an accused meth dealer known as “Mississippi” — who the woman had been tasked to buy drugs from, the Associated Press first reported.
