According to The Sun: A woman from the UK claims she was raped by a police officer while she was handcuffed in the back seat of his car.

The 37-year-old woman filed a complaint on September 10, explaining that she was arrested for 'obvious drunkenness'.

She claims she was handcuffed and forced into the car, after which one of the police officers sat next to her and kissed her.

“After the kiss, the officer allegedly 'penetrated her'.”

One of the police officers is accused of “rape and sexual violence, abusing the powers granted to him by his position,” and is currently in custody.

Another police officer is accused of “willfully failing to perform duty to prevent a crime or offense against the integrity of a person” and is under judicial supervision.

The third police officer is a corroborating witness in this case.

This case was first reported by the French newspaper Libération, citing prosecutor Nicolas Besson.

Similar case in Paris

The incident occurred just a few months after a woman reportedly became a victim of rape near the Eiffel Tower at night.

A teenager was then arrested following the horrific crime.

An unknown individual forcibly dragged the victim behind a bush, according to information from Le Parisien.

“He continued the rape in the most horrific way.”

The victim's cries were heard by patrol officers passing nearby.

The suspect was immediately arrested at the crime scene. Reports indicate that he was under the influence of alcohol.

This incident highlights the tragic reality of violence faced by women, even in ordinary circumstances. Recently, there has been increasing discussion in society about taking measures to protect citizens and the need to strengthen oversight over law enforcement.

The task of justice is to investigate these cases and ensure justice for the victims. Society hopes that this will lead to an improvement in the situation and prevent similar incidents in the future.
