Fired Tucson cop arrested on new charge


A former Tucson police officer fired earlier this year after a woman he arrested alleged he forced her to perform a sex act, has been arrested in a new, unrelated investigation.
The latest criminal accusations leveled against Benjamin Gaballa, 24, stem from a search of his home Tuesday as part of a police investigation into claims he had prohibited or illegal weapons, Tucson police said in a news release Wednesday.
During the search, officers said, they came across a motorcycle that Gaballa had reported stolen to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department in June 2012.
Gaballa was then arrested on suspicion of one count each of fraud and forgery, both felonies, Sgt. Maria Hawke said in a news release. The police inquiry into the weapons continues.

Gaballa was hired by TPD in September 2012. He was fired last Aug. 22, after a woman said that after she was arrested, he took her to a midtown parking garage and made her perform a sex act. She reported the incident at the jail. Gaballa was eventually accused of sexual abuse and sexual assault in that incident, police have said.

Atlanta cop Still on Force after DUI; Rape Indictment

ATLANTA -- An Atlanta Police officer who was charged with rape in 2008; who reportedly, as part of the incident, admitted to having sex with his neighbor despite the fact that she said no; and had a subsequent charge of Driving while Under the Influence (DUI) in 2009, is still on the force, Atlanta Progressive News has learned.


Despite numerous warning signs, the Atlanta Police Department chose to keep Edward Rabb, on the force for several years, including in the capacities of REDDOG officer and Vice Unit officer.






In 2008, Rabb was indicted by a Grand Jury for raping his neighbor, according to numerous news reports.  The charges included aggravated sodomy, sodomy, rape, sexual battery, kidnapping, and false imprisonment, according to the Clayton News Daily.  Rabb lived in Rex, Georgia, in Clayton County, at the time, while working in Atlanta.


Rabb’s neighbor had gone to use his shower because her hot water heater was not working.


“After that shower, the woman said she tried to leave and that’s when the assault happened.  According to the police report, she said she told Rabb to stop and that it wasn’t what she wanted but he raped her and used police maneuvers to restrain her,” WSBTV Channel 2 reported at the time.


“Rabb… allegedly also admitted that the woman said, ‘no,’” the News Daily reported, adding “He told Clayton County Police detectives that he ignored her objection to sex, because she was ‘shy’ and ‘had low self-steem [sic].’  He allegedly told police the woman probably thought she was overweight, but he said he told her he ‘liked his women like that.’”


Afterward, the woman told police, he cleaned up "as if he was cleaning up evidence of a crime,” the News Daily reported.


At the time he was placed on administrative leave with pay, according to Channel 2’s report.  

“He could lose his job after a hearing with the police chief,” Channel 2 reported.


But that was not the end of Rabb’s problems involving the criminal justice system.


Although the District Attorney’s office decided not to take the case to court, according to a 2009 report by CBS Atlanta, Rabb was arrested again for DUI and improper lane change.

Chicago police officer says sergeant forced her to have sex

Kelly Hespe had been a Chicago police officer since 2001 and says she was happy in her work on the midnight shift at the Shakespeare District on the West Side – until Sgt. Gerald Breimon became her supervisor in late 2008.
Not long after, Hespe alleged in a federal lawsuit filed Thursday, Breimon began to engage in an escalating course of sexual harassment and abusive conduct. Hespe said she was eventually forced to have sex with Breimon numerous times while the two were on duty over the next three years. When she tried to end the relationship, he became abusive and retaliated against her, the lawsuit alleged.
“I didn’t feel that I had anybody that I could go to (for help),” Hespe said at a press conference at which she generally maintained her composure, though her voice quavered at times as she detailed allegations not spelled out in the lawsuit.
“I was terrified of him, that he would harm me or my family,” the 42-year-old mother of three told reporters at the West Loop office of her attorney, Daniel Herbert.
Hespe has been on medical leave from the department since she suffered severe chest pains last March at work and was taken by ambulance to a hospital for observation, according to the lawsuit. The suit alleged she has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and suffers anxiety attacks, depression, nightmares and fear when she sees Chicago police squad cars.
Breimon, a 20-year veteran of the department, had his police powers stripped for several years while he faced sex abuse charges after a woman he pulled over in September 2003 alleged he groped her under the pretense of a search. The criminal charges were dropped in 2007 after the woman settled a civil lawsuit with Breimon and the city and then failed to cooperate with prosecutors in criminal court.
Breimon did not return a phone call seeking comment, and the Police Department declined comment. “We take all allegations seriously but cannot offer comment on ongoing internal investigations,” department spokesman Adam Collins said in an email.
The lawsuit was filed against the city, Breimon and another of Hespe’s supervisors. The suit, which seeks unspecified monetary damages, accused the city of facilitating “the very type of misconduct at issue here” by failing to adequately punish similar wrongdoing.
The lawsuit alleged that Breimon’s harassment started with sexually suggestive comments, “characterizing himself as Tarzan and (Hespe) as Jane.” But when Hespe objected, she learned “she would have to run a gauntlet of sexual harassment in the … district in order to ensure male officers would ‘have her back’ on calls and not refer to her as a ‘rat,’” according to the lawsuit.
After Breimon demanded that Hespe become his friend on Facebook, he used the site “to make lewd, sexual and vulgar suggestions,” the suit said. When Hespe objected, Breimon told her no one would believe her and that his mother, whom he identified as a former a high-ranking police official still with connections, would “get rid” of Hespe if she complained about him, according to the suit.
The suit alleged that Breimon repeatedly forced Hespe to engage in sex from November 2009 to November 2012 while both were on-duty, often while they were parked in Breimon’s squad car in secluded locations in Humboldt Park or inside the district police station.
Breimon often demanded nude photos from Hespe, becoming angry when she refused, and even suggested they have sex in front of her two young sons, Hespe told reporters.
When she tried to end the relationship, Breimon stalked her at her home, trailed her to her daughter’s school and followed her movements at work using the GPS tracking device in her squad car, Hespe said.
“Anything that I would ever say, it would do no good to say anything because no one would believe my word over his,” she told reporters. “So I felt just completely trapped.”

Brownsdale police chief loses job after being charged with felony sexual misconduct

BROWNSDALE, Minnesota — A southern Minnesota police chief has lost his job after being charged with felony sexual misconduct.
The Brownsdale City Council voted unanimously Monday night to fire Chief Jason Mindrup.
The 42-year-old, of Waltham, was charged with two felony counts of criminal sexual conduct last week but hasn't yet entered a plea.
According to a Mower County criminal complaint, a woman accused Mindrup of sexually assaulting her after leaving a Waltham bar on Aug. 31. Mindrup denied those accusations. Court files say he told investigators the woman asked to go to his house, but he instead drove her back to the bar where she had left her phone and purse.
Mindrup had been on paid, administrative leave since early September.

police officer on trial in sexual assault case

Lawyers for a police officer accused of sexually assaulting a woman told the jury that the woman is pursuing a lawsuit stemming from her allegations of criminal sexual assault to help her get out of debt.

The woman, who is not being named because she says she is a victim of sexual assault, said Bobby Lynn Beasley, a Dalworthington Gardens police sergeant, put his hand between her legs while he was giving her a ride home from the Dalworthington Gardens Jail. Beasley, 51, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to one count of sexual assault and could face 20 years in prison if convicted in state District Judge George Gallagher’s court.
Terri Moore, who is defending Beasley with help from attorney Michael Ware, told the jury that the woman owes more than $8,000 in delinquent traffic tickets to the city of Fort Worth. The woman, who has hired a civil attorney and filed a lawsuit, is a 34-year-old unemployed single mother with two children, 11 and 16, Moore said.
“She cried rape and is ruining this police officer’s life in order to get out of debt,” Moore said. “She owes debt that she cannot get out from under when you’re a single mom.”
Although the woman denies filing the lawsuit, Tarrant County district clerk records show that the lawsuit is active. Moore also presented cellphone records indicating that Beasley and his accuser sent text messages to each other for at least three days after she left the Dalworthington Gardens Jail.
The police officer’s accuser denies sending any texts to Beasley.
The incident that led to the lawsuit and criminal case allegedly occurred in December 2010 when Beasley went to serve an arrest warrant on the woman, who had outstanding traffic citations, according to Fort Worth police who investigated the case.
According to a police affidavit, Beasley was wearing civilian clothing but had his badge and gun in plain view when he drove to the woman's house in Fort Worth to arrest her. While driving her to the jail in Dalworthington Gardens, Beasley reportedly told her that he would help her and offered to drive her home.
The woman said Beasley touched her inappropriately while they were driving back to Fort Worth, according to police.
“His whole right hand touches my thigh,” the woman told the jury Tuesday. “He massaged his way up to my private area.”
The woman said she did not report the incident until April because her family told her no one would believe her because she is black and Beasley is white, the affidavit says.
David Hagerman, who is prosecuting the case with Heather Davenport, asked the woman what she was thinking while Beasley was touching her inappropriately.
“I was scared,” she told the jury.
Beasley was a member of the Dalworthington Gardens Police Department for three years and was assigned to the warrant division. Before that, he had been with the Bedford Police Department for 26 years.
