KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A
suspended Kansas City police officer has been convicted of one count corruption
but found not guilty on four other charges after he was accused of having sex
with two women in exchange for not arresting them.
The jury convicted Jeffrey
Holmes on Friday of one corruption charge but found him not guilty of four
other charges involving corruption and sex-related accusations. The jury also
recommended that Holmes be sentenced to 15 days in the county jail and pay an
undetermined fine. The Kansas City Star reports that two women accused Holmes
of coming to their hotel rooms in 2012, indicating he was going to arrest them
for prostitution, but having sex with each of them instead. Holmes has been on
unpaid suspension from the department.
