A white police officer in the US city of Oklahoma was charged with raping or sexually abusing eight black women, he threatened to arrest if they did not submit.
Officer Daniel Holtzclaw, 27, was charged with two counts of first-degree rape, four counts of sexual battery, four counts of forcible oral sodomy, four counts of indecent exposure, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of stalking, USA Today reported.
Holtzclaw is accused of raping at least two women while on duty and forcing four to expose themselves.
The women, between 34 and 58 years old, all are black.
Some women were stopped as they were walking. In one case, the victim told police that Holtzclaw broke into her home in March and then forced her to perform sexual acts.
Police said there may be additional victims.
Holtzclaw has remained jailed since his arrest August 21. He denies the allegations.
