A months-long review into allegations of sexual contact between East Bay law enforcement officers and the teenager at the center of a scandal that has roiled the Bay Area for months has yielded only one prosecutable case, Contra Costa County Dist. Prosecutors reviewed allegations of sexual encounters between Abuslin and officers from the San Francisco, Oakland and Richmond police departments, as well as deputies from the Alameda County Sheriff’s office, that took place in Contra Costa County, Peterson said. The retired officer spoke to authorities and admitted he did pay Abuslin for sex, Peterson said, adding that he would be charged with soliciting a prostitute. Peterson’s announcement is the latest turn in a sex crimes scandal that has roiled the Bay Area law enforcement community for months. Nancy E. O’Malley has said five Oakland police officers, a former Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputy and an ex-Livermore police officer will face criminal charges in the scandal.
