A police officer in Florida was charged Friday with violating the civil rights of two women, one of them a minor, in separate episodes in 2015 that federal prosecutors said involved kidnapping, sexual abuse and threats of physical harm.
Prosecutors also accused Menocal of kidnapping and “the use and threatened use of a dangerous weapon” in his encounter with the girl, then 17, which happened while he was “acting under color of law,” according to a statement. The charges involving a minor closely match allegations contained in a lawsuit filed in October by Maley DaCosta, 21, who accused Menocal of stopping her car in June 2015. She sued Menocal and the City of Hialeah, which she said had “created and tolerated an atmosphere of lawlessness” among law enforcement officials.
DaCosta said in her suit that Menocal took her into custody while she was out with her girlfriend. He took her to a police station, entering through a back door, and ordered her to remove her clothes while he touched himself and asked her questions about lesbianism.
