Four Oakland police officers fired in wake of sex scandal

Story highlights

• Four officers fired, seven suspended for involvement in sex scandal
• Probe began after suicide of officer accused of having sex with underage prostitute

An additional seven officers were suspended without pay, and another is receiving counseling, according to CNN affiliate KRON4.

The four Oakland Police Department officers who were terminated also face charges of attempted sexual assault, lewd conduct in public, assisting in the crime of prostitution, being untruthful to investigators, and failing to report a violation of law for not disclosing that a minor had sexual contact with police.

The seven suspended officers are accused of accessing a law enforcement database for personal gain, failing to report a violation of the law, and bringing disrepute to the department.

Schaaf said at the press conference that the firings and suspensions send "a loud and clear message that we hold our officers to nothing but the highest standards of professionalism and integrity."

Sex, suicide and failure to report: How Oakland police scandal unfolded

Disturbing allegations

The punishments bring some resolution to the scandal that began last fall with the suicide of OPD officer Brendan O'Brien. Officials say an investigation into his death uncovered disturbing allegations.

An 18-year-old former prostitute alleged she had sex with O'Brien, as well as with a number of other officers from the department and officers from nearby jurisdictions.

The young woman, who goes by the pseudonym Celeste Guap, said it all started when she was 17 years old and became romantically involved with O'Brien, who she credits with saving her from a dangerous pimp.

"He saved me when I was 17," Guap told CNN in a phone conversation. "Instead of taking me to jail, we just kind of started something there, you know."

O'Brian, she said, later introduced her to other officers who became customers.

As the investigation widened, other officers became embroiled in the scandal. Ultimately, four police chiefs resigned and 28 officers across five departments were alleged to have had sexual contact with Guap.

Multiple relationships

Some of the officers paid to have sex, Guap said. Others exchanged confidential information, such as tipping her off about prostitution stings, for sexual favors.

Of the 28 officers, Guap said 14 were from the Oakland Police Department. The others included five Richmond police officers, several Alameda County Sherriff's deputies, a Livermore police officer and a Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy.

The Oakland Police Department is no stranger to scandal. Since 2003 a federal monitor has been in place to ensure the department complies with a negotiated settlement agreement stemming from a police corruption scandal.

Officers had been accused of planting evidence and assaulting suspects. No accused officers were ever convicted, but one officer fled prosecution and to this day remains at large. The city paid out more than $10 million to more than 100 plaintiffs and agreed to make reforms, eventually ending up under federal monitoring.

Wednesday's announcements were "about making department-wide changes," Schaaf said.

"We see you, we are here for you, we are here to help you," she added, addressing victims of sexual abuse in the city.

Teacher allegedly had sex with student who called her 'wifey'

A Dallas substitute teacher has been arrested and charged for allegedly having sex with a high school student last year, according to a local report.

Fallon Hunt was arrested Tuesday and charged with improper relationship between educators and students after a parent reported to police in October that she was exchanging text messages and having sex with her son, an arrest warrant obtained by WFAA-TV showed.

Hunt is currently booked at Dallas County jail and her bail was set at $20,000.

When police questioned the 28-year-old, they found pictures of the Justin Kimball High School student stored in her cell phone.

The victim â€" whose identity was not revealed â€" told police that Hunt may have been involved in sexual relationships with other students.

Fallon Hunt, who worked at Justin Kimball High School, was arrested Tuesday for having a sexual relationship with at least one high school student last year.

That student also admitted to having sex with Hunt multiple times between April and May 2015 â€" the month he graduated.

Text messages between the student and Hunt revealed that he called her “wifey” and “my baby,” the warrant stated.

Other potential relationships between Hunt and other students are under investigation, police said.

Ex-Wisconsin teacher sent to prison for having sex with student

A former Wisconsin English teacher cried in court after she was sentenced to two years behind bars for having sex with a student.

Sara Domres, 29, who has no prior criminal record, must also register as a sex offender and is banned from having contact with the pupil and his family, the Journal Sentinel reported. When she leaves prison, she will be on three years probation and a supervision order.

The former West Berlin High School teacher in August admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old sophomore in her English class after she’d developed a relationship with him over the course of the 2014-15 school year.

Domres often referred to the student as “baby boo” in the 1,100 text messages the pair exchanged over the course of their relationship.

“Baby Boo, I love you now & forever! Please be mine forever & ever. Always your baby girl. P.S. Good luck on your quiz [smiley face],” she once wrote to him, according to court documents.

The student said their first sexual encounter occurred at a park-and-ride lot in July 2015, when he was only 16.

And while Domres only admitted to having sex with him on two occasions, he said they had intercourse between 10 and 15 times, including at a Motel six the night of Domres’ husband’s bachelor party in October 2015, the teenager told police.

Investigators found evidence that shows the boy's phone had been connected to the motel’s WiFi the same date motel records showed Domres reserved a room.

The student also admitted to police that his teacher sent him selfies while she was on her honeymoon.

A few of the student’s friends reported Domres back in January and the School District of New Berlin, located just outside Milwaukee, fired her the same month.

In her statement to the court, Domres said she was passionate for her teaching profession and detailed the hours she spent outside of work assisting her students and acting as their confidante, the Journal Sentinel reported.

She said the loss her job and the on-going media coverage surrounding her case made her feel as though “the consequences of my actions have been enforced tenfold.”

The prosecutor noted however, that had she not been a teacher, her dozen-plus sexual encounters with her student would have only been misdemeanors â€" because of the power and influence teachers hold over their students, her trysts are considered a felony.

“I don’t know how much brighter the line could be,” Assistant District Attorney Ted Szczupakiewicz said. “There’s no gray area. It’s absolute.”
