**sigh**

Yes, I've been watching this on the news all day. And we also have the OKC cop, Holtzclaw, who was caught sexually victimizing women in one of the most destitute areas of the city. There's a thread on him around here somewhere.

I feel crushed, horrified, sick. I hate this. Really, really hate it.

Being from Oklahoma myself, I really hate it, too! Thanks for posting!

42-year-old Eric Roberts has pleaded not guilty to 10 felonies and four misdemeanors ranging from second-degree rape and sexual battery to charges alleging that requests he made during the traffic stops amounted to a request for a bribe.
