On Thursday, after 45 hours of deliberation, a jury convicted Daniel Holtzclaw, 28, on five counts of rape and 13 other counts of sexual assault.

His conviction is likely to be viewed as a key moment of accountability for law enforcement officers who abuse their position: out of the hundreds of police officers terminated for sexual abuse in recent years, only a small number faced criminal charges and even fewer were convicted. And black women are especially liable to be their targets.

Still, the case did not attract the level of attention that activists and media outlets have paid to other accusations of rape or police abuse. Some racial justice activists were frustrated that the trial did not generate the same coverage as police-involved shootings that have killed black men. At the start of the trial, in early November, local activists were surprised to find the courtroom empty of the women’s groups that have supported accusers in other rape trials.

Quit crying you weak . You better hope you get in solitary confinement. Don't bend over.
 
Did I hear one of the victims say he took her to a hospital and reped her while she was handcuffed to a stretcher? If so, WTH hospital was this?

"He just picked the wrong lady to stop that night," said XXXXXX XXXXXX, whose police complaint triggered the investigation that led to charges Daniel Holtzclaw victimized 13 women as an Oklahoma City Police officer. "I wanted to make sure this wouldn't happen again, no way no how." "I was out there alone and helpless, didn't know what to do. In my mind, all I could think of was that he was going to shoot me, he was going to kill me," said XXXXX, a daycare worker in her 50s who was pulled over while driving home from a night with friends. "He did things to me that I didn't think a police officer would do." With the support of her daughters, XXXXXX said she immediately went to police, triggering the probe that led to what many praised as justice on Friday.
 
I did not follow the case or even know about it until this week. Can someone help me out here who knows the answer? What did his defense lawyer say is the reason for all of his dna/ semen on ALL of these victims that he vehemently denies raping ? Consensual ? With a 13 yr old ? TIA

The youngest one was 17 and they found her DNA in his pants. I couldn't follow it all of it, I was to ticked off about the whole thing.

Ooops, sorry, I made a bad error on the age.
 
This case helps to renew my faith in our justice system. It's encouraging to know that sometimes the jury gets it right.
 
So thankful for the courageous woman who spoke up and for the authorities who took her seriously. Hope he's locked up forever and that his victims heal both physically and emotionally. I can't believe how many twisted freaks there are in this world! Glad he was found guilty.

A little off topic. The writer speaks of " the epidemic of sexual assault on women of color". Any idea what he's talking about? TIA

Women of color are at a higher risk of being assaulted.

Black women are almost three times as likely to experience death as a result of DV/IPV than White women. And while Black women only make up 8% of the population, 22% of homicides that result from DV/IPV happen to Black Women and 29% of all victimized women, making it one of the leading causes of death for Black women ages 15 to 35. Statistically, we experience sexual assault and DV/IPV at disproportionate rates and have the highest rates of intra-racial violence against us than any other group. We are also less likely to report or seek help when we are victimized.

They are less likely to report assaults, less likely to believed when they do report, and Holtzclaw knew it.

I'd also like an investigation to find out how many other officers knew of the twisted freak's vile actions. Hard to believe that word didn't get back to some others...
 
Daniel Holtzclaw was supposed to be sentenced today at 10:00 am central time. Now he wants a new trial. The courtroom is full of people waiting on the sentencing and the judge told everyone to come back at 1:30. What is going on here? Sentence him already!
