LAPD officer charged with soliciting sex and sexual assault in Los Angeles to a young west LA woman

Officer Russel Mecano was charged Tuesday November 4, 2008 with one misdemeanor count of solicitation of prostitution and felony counts of sexual battery by unlawful restraint, penetration by a foreign object by a public official, and penetration by a foreign object under duress.

The 40-year-old eight-year veteran of the LAPD officer was indicted in October 2008 but was kept secret. The indictment accuses Mecano of preying on young women he came into contact with while patrolling in West Los Angeles.
