Chicago police accused of sex attack

CHICAGO, April 1 (UPI) -- Chicago police are investigating two officers accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her home.

An irate Terry Hillard, the interim superintendent, denounced the incident Thursday as "heinous criminal activity" that will not be tolerated.

The officers were arrested Wednesday and freed without charges, the Chicago Tribune reported. The 10-year veterans, both 38, have been placed on administrative duty while evidence is gathered, Hillard said.

The uniformed officers, driving a marked vehicle, had offered the 22-year-old woman a ride home when they found her near Wrigley Field Tuesday night, crying after drinking and arguing with a male friend, a police report states.

The report said the woman had sex with one officer in a passenger seat during the drive of several miles to her apartment. There the three played strip poker, and she had sex with an officer in her bed.

But she told police she later felt threatened, ran out of the apartment and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Hillard said it did not matter whether the woman was drunk, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

"That has nothing to do with the case," he said.
