Citty said the victims were forced to expose themselves, fondle themselves, and one of the women was raped. Citty said several of the women were forced to perform oral sex on Holtzclaw.
Traffic stops, some of the individuals were actually just walking," Citty said. "Walking in their neighborhood and they were stopped, you know, searched, threatened in some way with arrest or something to that extent. And as a result of that, actually coerced them into providing sexual favors to him...
Alitia Timmons is representing the 57-year-old grandmother who first came forward with allegations that Officer Daniel Holtzclaw forced her to perform oral sex during a traffic stop in June... She was really, really fragile, Timmons said. She was scared to leave her house. When she was driving and she saw a police officer drive by, it would terrorize her and she has been piecing herself together.

Holtzclaw, an Enid native, worked the 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift at the Springlake Division, which predominately patrols the northeast part of Oklahoma City. Police said most incidents happened at the location of the stops, but some victims were taken to remote locations...
Investigators have received statements from six women, and one woman is scheduled to provide a statement, Citty said. The chief said all the victims are black women between the ages of 34 and 58, and the incidents occurred from February to June in the area of Lincoln Boulevard to Interstate 35 and NE 14 to NE 50.
Detectives began investigating Holtzclaw after a woman complained to police June 18. He was placed on administrative leave the same day. We started the investigation and we started looking at traffic stops he had made throughout the previous months to try to identify and initiate contact with females that we knew he had stopped during that period of time, just to see if they had been sexually assaulted, Citty said.
