Officer Stephen Olenchak Accused of Raping Teen


A Davie police officer was arrested Thursday, accused of raping a teenage girl while his wife lay unconscious next to them, according to police.

Stephen Olenchak, a 34-year-old police officer, was charged with two counts of sexual battery without consent on a girl over 12 years old. Police said the teenage girl was at Olenchak's home on March 22 when he, his wife and the girl watched the HBO television show Big Love.

The girl told police that Olenchak served the girl and his wife drinks that made them drowsy. While his wife slept nearby, Olenchak grabbed the girl from behind and raped her, according to the police report.

The girl told police she was not coherent enough to call out to Olenchak's wife for help.

Olenchak was arrested Thursday evening and taken to a Broward jail. He was released on $10,000 bond at 3:34 a.m. Friday, according to prison personnel.

Davie police spokesman William Coyne said that Olenchak will be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into his actions.

The girl's family placed a restraining order on Olenchak, and a Davie police officer was assigned to keep watch over the family, Coyne said.
