US Cop Rapes 20-Year Old Woman At Gunpoint While On Duty

Boynton Beach police officer has been arrested after he allegedly raped a 20-year-old woman at gunpoint while he was on duty, police said. Officer Stephen J. Maiorino, an eight-year veteran of the department who was in an episode of the TV show “Cops” in 2010, turned himself in to the Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday. He is now on unpaid administrative leave and “will be fired,” Police Chief Jeffrey Katz said.

By Michael Krieger:  Although I’ve spent a lot of time highlighting the incredibly insane and immoral actions of a militarized American police force for several years, this week has featured some particularly ghastly accounts.
It all started on Monday with the post: To Protect and Perve – California Cops Share Nude Photos Stolen from Citizens’ Cellphones.
While that post was bad enough, it was followed up just days later with something far, far worse in the piece: Video of the Day – Watch as 8 Police Officers Fire 46 Shots and Kill a Homeless Man in Broad Daylight. In that article, I warned:

As long as the worst amongst us continue to get away with their criminality, the more of it we will see. In fact, the more brutal and cartoonish it will get.

Unfortunately, it didn’t take very long. Meet Stephen J. Maiorino, the Florida cop who raped a 20-year old woman at gunpoint while on duty. By the way, he was previously named “Officer of the Month” by the department in 2010, and has appeared in the TV show “Cops.” You can’t make this stuff up.
From the Sun-Sentinel:

Boynton Beach police officer has been arrested after he allegedly raped a 20-year-old woman at gunpoint while he was on duty, police said.
Officer Stephen J. Maiorino, an eight-year veteran of the department who was in an episode of the TV show “Cops” in 2010, turned himself in to the Palm Beach County Jail on Thursday. He is now on unpaid administrative leave and “will be fired,” Police Chief Jeffrey Katz said.
Maiorino, 35, was charged with armed sexual battery, armed kidnapping and unlawful compensation or reward for official behavior, according to a statement from Boynton Beach Police.
The alleged incident happened Oct. 15. The woman had been left stranded in Boynton after the driver of a car she was riding in was arrested on a DUI charge. The driver’s car was towed.
Once at the department, she tried to get out of the car, but Maiorino grabbed her by the wrist and demanded she perform oral sex on him, she told investigators. He told that if she didn’t comply, she would face a DUI arrest herself, the affidavit said.
She told investigators she complied out of fear. But it didn’t end there, according to the affidavit.
Maiorino then drove her a short distance from the department building. There, she was forced to strip down and was held face down on the hood of a police-marked vehicle, the affidavit said. His right hand held her down during the sexual assault, the report said.
She told investigators she could see the gun in his left hand. Later, when the woman got dressed, Maiorino pointed a gun at her and told her he would kill her and her family if she told anyone, the police report said.
Six hours later, she made the complaint.
The next morning, the woman took investigators to the crime scene, where they found a condom wrapper and a condom, police said. Preliminary results Monday found that the woman’s DNA was on the condom, as well as on the condom wrapper and on his underwear.
At 6:36 p.m., he called out over his police radio that he was taking the woman to the police station. At 7:30 p.m., he dropped her off at the station, police said. The police report noted that 54 minutes had lapsed, even though the location where he initially picked up the woman was only 20 city blocks from the station.

Maiorino, who according to court records is married, declined to speak to investigators in the case. However, he did consent to a DNA oral swab and to handing over his clothes for the investigation, a police report said.
“This is a dark day in the history of our department,” the chief said.
His personnel file, which the city provided to the media, shows he has received numerous commendations, including “Officer of the Month” in March 2010. But problems with his performance started appearing routinely in 2011, the records show.
Police are starting to treat the general public like Central Bankers have been doing for years.
Jails weren’t invented for people carrying drugs. Jails were invented for people like Stephen Maiorino. If found guilty, he should never see the light of day again.
In Liberty,
Michael Krieger
