A 17-year-old girl goes on a ride-along with a police officer, who allegedly sexually assaulted and harassed her multiple times.

Per the appellate court, the complaint described "a day-long sequence of inappropriate comments and questions punctuated by unwelcome physical sexual contacts."

The district judge - an Obama appointee! - ruled that the cop gets #QualifiedImmunity and dismissed the case.

Hess v. Garcia, No. 22-1550 (7th Cir. 2023)

Hess, a 17-year-old student, was required to participate in a ride-along with Hammond Officer Garcia. Her complaint describes a day-long sequence of inappropriate comments and questions punctuated by unwelcome physical sexual contact. Garcia allegedly rubbed his arm against her breast, repeatedly placed his hand on Hess’s thigh, put his hand on her buttocks, stated that Hess wanted to become a prostitute, and, while in a secluded location, asked another officer if he wanted to have sex with Hess. After Hess’s ride along, another female classmate participated in the course-required ride with Garcia. When the classmate told Hess that Garcia had acted inappropriately, the girls reported their experiences.
