A Hialeah, Fla., police sergeant, the
son of a former police chief, has been suspended following allegations
of sexual abuse from a young lesbian couple pulled over at a routine
traffic stop, reports Miami news station WSVN.
The couple, who have asked not to be identified, say that Sgt. Jesus
Menocal, Jr. pulled them over for making a U-Turn near a police
substation Saturday, and detained them for questioning. The couple say
Menocal, Jr. told one girl, 17, to get into the back of his police car
and the other, 20, to follow behind in her car.
When they arrived at the substation, Menocal, Jr. allegedly took the
teen from his car inside to a private room and began asking
inappropriate questions.

Sunday, the day after the alleged sexual
assault, Menocal, Jr. was suspended with pay while the Hialeah Police
Department began an investigation into the couple's allegations. Hialeah
Police Chief Sergio Velázquez and Hialeah police leaders met with the
Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office Monday to coordinate the delivery of
evidence for the investigation, reports the Miami Herald.
