Two Officers Arrested - One Charged with Beating Pregnant Wife- Other Charged with Rape

DAVIE

Two police officers have been relieved of duty after one was charged with beating his pregnant wife while another was charged with raping a woman while his wife slept in the same bed, police said Friday.

The more recent arrest took place Thursday, when Officer Stephen Kenneth Olenchak, 34, was arrested for two counts of rape. According to an arrest report, the victim told investigators that Olenchak brought his wife a drink before going to bed on Sunday. When his wife fell asleep, he then brought the victim something to drink, according to the report.

Davie Police spokesman Lt. Bill Coyne said police are investigating whether drugs were used in the drinks. According to the report, Olenchak then fondled and had intercourse with the victim, who said she did not consent and was not coherent enough to call out to Olenchak's wife for help.

At one point, the report states, Olenchak's wife got up to use the bathroom, and the victim said she "looked like a zombie."

Olenchak, who has been with the Police Department 11 years, is on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. He is out of jail on a $10,000 bond.

Earlier this month, police arrested Vally Getejanc, 25, who has been with the Davie department since September 2007. Getejanc has been charged with one count of battery for a February 27 incident during which he was accused of throwing his wife to the ground. The two had been married just four days, and the wife was five months pregnant, according to an arrest report.

Police on March 19 charged him with aggravated assault with a firearm following an investigation into more allegations brought by the wife, who said Getejanc took his duty weapon and held it to her head during a Feb. 3 argument, according to a separate arrest report.

Information on Getejanc's bond was not available, but he is not currently in the Broward jail system, according to records.
