The lawsuit claimed these officers deliberately mishandled evidence and failed to act on reports, resulting in a federal judge approving the class-action status and the city agreeing to a $28 million settlement.

Officers were accused of conducting inconsistent, ineffective, and incomplete sexual assault investigations between 2018 and 2021. An external investigation revealed inadequate record management, insufficient training, and gender-based biases within the department. These findings were part of the evidence leading to a $28 million settlement with victims.
