San Jose Police Officer Charged with Rape of Hotel Maid
A San Jose police officer has been charged with raping a hotel maid whom authorities say he was tasked with helping after she had fled a fight with her drunken husband.
San Jose police said that Officer Geoffrey Evatt Graves, 38, was arrested on Monday of one count of felony sexual assault following a five-month investigation. The Santa Clara County District Attorney, however, ended up filing one count of forcible rape.
Graves, who is out of custody, will not be formally arraigned until March 24. If he is convicted of the charge, he could face a maximum of eight years in prison and have to register as a sex offender, according to court documents filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court.
A judge may decide at a probable cause hearing to force him to take an HIV test.

SMH and we wonder why rape victims are afraid to come forward? even the COPS perpetuate rape culture.
