(AP) — Activists and relatives of a teenage woman at the center of a San Francisco Bay Area police sex scandal say they want to know if any of the more than two dozen law enforcement officials implicated earlier this year will face criminal charges.
The woman, who turned 19 on Thursday and says she works as a prostitute, told The Associated Press that she informed internal affairs investigators months ago that she had sex with three Oakland police officers and a Contra Costa County deputy before her 18th birthday.
The Associated Press generally doesn't identify people who say they are victims of sex crimes or their families.
The teen lives with her mother, an Oakland police dispatcher, who has not returned numerous phone and email inquiries seeking comment.
The Alameda County district attorney's office is leading the criminal investigation and spokeswoman Rebecca Richardson declined to comment.
Civic activist Ben Steinberg, a member of the Richmond Arts & Culture Commission, has launched a petition demanding that Harris take over the investigation of the officers who work for the Richmond Police Department, which has launched an internal inquiry.
