Cop Charges
Cop With Harassment(N.Y. Post) Candice Fisher, 22, of the Los Angeles Police Dept., charged Phillip Berry, 31, her partner in the patrol car, with on-the-job sexual harassment.
Fisher charged that Berry made both verbal and physical passes while they were on duty. She reported that he made improper remarks, attempted to force her into an intimate position, suggested they perform an intimate sex act and once "thrust his pelvis against her body in a sexually suggestive manner."
A department spokesperson said the case is the first in L.A. history in which a male officer was charged with such offenses.
