Investigation

Two veteran St. Louis police officers on Wednesday were arrested on rape and other sexual assault allegations dating back to 2019, while a third officer was charged with attempting to derail the investigation, local news outlets KSDK-TV and KMOV-TV reported.

Lafeal Lawshea, a 13-year veteran of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD), was charged with forcible sodomy, forcible rape, being an accessory to forcible rape, and tampering with a victim.

According to court documents obtained by KMOV, Lawshea was accused of sexually assaulting two women in 2009, both of whom said the assault took place after he had served them at least one alcoholic drink.

Torey Phelps, a 14-year veteran of the department, was charged with forcible rape stemming from a 2010 accusation.

1. Who was blocking the investigation? 10 yrs is a long time, just wondering.

4. it's in the article...

In another incident, a woman claimed she was in Lawshea’s home in Dec. 2019 when he “touched her inappropriately.” She claimed that after she rejected him, Lawshea sexually assaulted her. She then reported the assault to Sgt. Jatonya S. Clayborn-Muldrow during lunch in March 2020. According to the report, Clayborn-Muldrow peppered the victim with questions for nearly two hours before telling her the whole ordeal “was a misunderstanding and she should call Lawshea to explain the misunderstanding.”

Despite Clayborn-Muldrow’s alleged intervention, the victim proceeded to file a police report regarding the December assault, only to have Clayborn-Muldrow intervene again.
