A Las Vegas judge set bail at $16,000 and placed a suspended
police officer on house arrest pending a Jan. 14 preliminary hearing on
allegations that he sexually intimidated women he met during routine calls.
Solomon Coleman, is charged with oppression under color of office with threat
of force, a felony, and four misdemeanors including gross lewdness and taking
pictures of a person’s private area.
Among other allegations, he is accused of remaining at the
home of a woman whose boyfriend had been arrested in June on a domestic violence
charge and instructing the woman to disrobe so he could check her for bruises
and photograph her body.
The woman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal for a Thursday
report that her 5-year-old son walked into the bedroom during the incident and
Coleman ushered the boy away.
Coleman later exposed
himself to the woman in her bathroom, the newspaper reported, citing the woman,
then returned to the woman’s home later, but she didn’t open the door.
Other charges stem from allegations that Coleman used his
phone to record more than 20 minutes of a personal sex video from another
woman’s cellphone, which police had seized during an arrest.
Police matched Coleman’s patrol records with the date the
video was recorded and determined he had taken the phone from a California
woman during a traffic stop in June 2012, the Review-Journal said.
