As bizarre as this story is, and for some, just as frustrating, I wish to expose the fact that many cops are above the law in this country. This jury let this jerk walk without due punishment! I personally don't think he should have gotten yrs in prison for what he did, but as a message to other cops, this jury should have easily convicted the jerk based on all the evidence and testimony provided without a blink of an eye! If it was to only give him 3-6 mths in a community jail, at least there would have been some message sent to other cops.
But.....they set him free based on the fact that the motorist was a stripper!! There was NO consent given to this cop to get his blue rocks off!! Isn't he just as much a sexual preditor as the 'other' convicted sexual predictors, but what's even worse is that he does/did it behind the badge?
Read the entire article for the bullshit details as to how Park's lawyers got him off!

Illegally Park-ed
An Irvine cop ejaculates on a motorist but escapes criminal liability

No one disputes that an on-duty Irvine police officer got an erection and ejaculated on a motorist during an early-morning traffic stop in Laguna Beach. The female driver reported it, DNA testing confirmed it and officer David Alex Park finally admitted it.
When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that Park wasn’t responsible for making sticky all over the woman’s sweater. He insisted that she made the married patrolman make the mess—after all, she was on her way home from work as a dancer at Captain Cream Cabaret.
“She got what she wanted,” said Stokke. “She’s an overtly sexual person.”
A jury of one woman and 11 men—many white and in their 50s or 60s—agreed with Stokke. On Feb. 2, after a half-day of deliberations, they found Park not guilty of three felony charges that he’d used his badge to win sexual favors during the December 2004 traffic stop.
Park, 31, was red-faced and unable to control his twitching foot in the moments before the verdict was announced; if convicted, he would have faced prison. When he was found not guilty, he briefly embraced Stokke. In the public seating section, tears flowed from his gray-haired mother’s face. His father, a mechanic, closed his eyes and threw his head back. Outside the courtroom, surrounded by his family, a smiling Park said he felt vindicated.
Veteran sex crimes prosecutor Shaddi Kamiabipour—who’d called Park “a predator” during the nine-day trial—said she was disappointed with the verdicts. She also dismissed Stokke’s contention that the Orange County District Attorney’s office had overcharged the case. At stake, Kamiabipour said, was the principle that no one—not even a horny cop who’d once won honors for community service—is above the law.
“Park didn’t pick a housewife or a 17-year-old girl,” Kamiabipour said in her closing argument. “He picked a stripper. He picked the perfect victim.
