(CNN) A former Florida cop allegedly used local and state law enforcement databases to look for women to date and have sex with, officials say. An investigation by the Bradenton Police Department revealed that former Officer Leonel Marines targeted women, using his position to approach them for dates, Chief Melanie Bevan said. By law, the databases are only supposed to be used for official police business. Bevan, speaking at a news conference on March 7, called the revelation "truly a disturbing situation." She said she'd personally met with many of the women Marines allegedly targeted to tell them that "Marines' actions are not a representation of those who so proudly wear this uniform and badge and also simply to tell them, 'I'm sorry.'"
