CLEVELAND
A Cleveland police officer was indicted Wednesday on charges connected to the rape of a woman while on duty last December.
Duhamel Torres was indicted on several charges, including rape, kidnapping, intimidation of a crime victim, tampering with records and assault.
Prosecutors said Torres stopped a 41-year-old woman near West 43rd Street and Lorain Avenue. He asked her if she had a warrant out for her arrest and ordered her into his patrol car, saying he would give her a ride home, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Torres drove the woman to an area on Scranton Avenue, threatened her with arrest, slapped her in the face and raped her.
When he dropped her off near her home, he threatened her again, prosecutors said.
Authorities said DNA from the rape kit matched Torres'.
