The
suburban Chicago cop who was caught on video beating a 15-year-old student for
refusing to tuck his shirt last May is being accused of raping a woman while
holding a pillow over her face.
He also killed his ex-wife’s new husband last
year by shooting him 24 times in front of their children while he was a cop for
another suburban police department.
He was suspended for that incident and
eventually found work with the Dolton Police Department, where he ended up
beating the special needs student who weighed only 140 pounds, breaking his
nose and lacerating his face.
A few months later, he allegedly threatened
an Indiana woman with a knife. Then later raped her with a pillow over her face
on September 14, according to the Chicago Tribune.
It is no wonder why the Dolton Police
Department refused to release his name this week when the video of the student
beating emerged.
Christopher Lloyd, 38, has been incarcerated
in Indiana on a $110,000 bond since last month. He faces 20 years in prison for
the rape allegation.
His ex-wife has also filed a wrongful death
suit against him and the Robbins Police Department for the killing of her new
husband in February 2008.
Chicago police accepted his claims of
self-defense even though he drove to the couple’s home while off-duty and got
into an argument with Cornell McKinney, before shooting him 24 times.
It is not clear whether he reloaded in that
incident, but if he did, it would make it hard to believe he was acting in
self-defense.
The suit claims the autopsy contradicts the
police investigation. I’m sure it does. The Chicago Police Department should be
sued as well.
