HERO COP: Cop 1

A former Philadelphia police officer once hailed as a hero and given a seat next to the first lady at a speech by President Obama has been arrested and charged with rape and other crimes.
Authorities allege that former officer Richard DeCoatsworth left a party with two females early Thursday and took them to another location, where they allege that he produced a handgun and "forced the two females to engage in the use of narcotics and sexual acts."
A police spokeswoman said the two called police after he left, and 27-year-old DeCoatsworth was charged with rape, sexual assault, terroristic threats and related offenses.
DeCoatsworth was hailed as a hero after he was shot in the face during a traffic stop in September 2007 but still managed to chase after his attacker, who was later sentenced to 36 to 72 years in prison.
DeCoatsworth was invited by Vice President Joe Biden to attend the president's televised February 2009 address to Congress and sat with first lady Michelle Obama. He said he didn't know why he had been singled out, but being in the presence of the nation's leaders was an honor "that I will keep with me for the rest of my life."
WCAU-TV, which first reported his arrest, said DeCoatsworth retired from the department on disability in December 2011.
Police said no other information on the alleged attack would be released Saturday to protect the victims and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Authorities declined to give even general locations for the party and alleged crime scene and also wouldn't say when DeCoatsworth was arrested.
A listed number for DeCoatsworth has been disconnected and it was unclear whether he had an attorney.
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey told a Philadelphia Daily News columnist in February of last year that he believed he had made a mistake in granting the former officer's request to go back to work too soon after he was shot.
"God bless him for still wanting to get out there and do police work, but did I act in his best interest? In hindsight, I would say probably not," Ramsey told columnist Sty Bykofsky.

L.A. COP: Cop 2

By Andrew Blankstein

May 21, 2013, 12:51 p.m.

Prosecutors have filed charges against a veteran Los Angeles police officer who allegedly lured two young girls to his Castaic-area home and molested them.
Miguel Angel Schiappapietra Jr., 28, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 years of age.
His attorney, David D. Diamond, said he was still in the process of reviewing the allegations but added, "The only thing worse than lewd acts against a minor is being falsely accused of lewd acts against a minor."
Schiappapietra was arrested Saturday morning after the girls, ages 5 and 8, told detectives the officer sexually molested them.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials confirmed the Saturday arrest but would not elaborate on the nature of the crimes or what, if any, relationship the officer has to the victims.
Schiappapietra, a six-year department veteran assigned to the Foothill Division, was off-duty at the time of his arrest. The case is being investigated by the Sheriff's Special Victims Unit.
He was booked into the Santa Clarita Valley sheriff's station and held in lieu of $200,000.
Schiappapietra is now on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal LAPD review, as well as the ongoing criminal investigation.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled May 30.
