Reserve Officer Edward Henry Charged with Sexual Battery

A reserve Oakland police officer was charged last month with sexual battery on a woman he's known for 20 years.

Edward L. Henry, who worked with the Oakland police since 2004, was arrested last month after the victim went to the police.

Henry, 40, admitted that he forced himself upon the victim who had gone to his home with the intention of dying his hair, reports show.

The woman told police she repeatedly asked the Henry to stop having sex with her, according to an arrest affidavit. They had had consensual sexual relations about seven years prior, the report said.

Henry was relieved of duty from Oakland Police Department on Dec. 20, the day he was arrested, said Lt. Wesner Osselyn. Henry worked on the bike patrol unit as an un-paid reserve deputy. Osselyn said Henry did not have a disciplinary history with the department.

Henry was booked into the Orange County Jail on sexual battery charges, but has since been released.
