An LAPD spokesperson said the department does not comment on pending litigation.
A Los Angeles Police Department detective who says he was subjected to physical and sexual abuse while playing for an amateur football team composed of officers has filed a legal claim with the city.
Rookies were selected one at a time to be taken away. He heard yelling, laughing, crying and screams of pain echoing into the room until he was the last one left, he says. He says he entered a dimly lit locker room, allegedly confronted by roughly 30 to 40 LAPD officers, who screamed at him and ordered him to strip naked. When he refused and resisted, he says, officers allegedly bombarded him with liquid and objects.
