A Stillwater police officer who was last summer charged with attempted inappropriate sexual conduct now faces new charges of harassing a woman he pulled over.
According to the Washington County Attorney, an adult woman reported that Officer Scott Geving, 50, had harassed her and made unwelcomed sexual advances on her in 2006.
According to the charges, the woman was pulled over on suspicion of drunken driving. When she failed a preliminary breath test, Geving allegedly gave her a ride home instead of arresting her.
He then began getting "a little flirty," according to the woman. Before long, she reported seeing him sitting in his squad car outside her house repeatedly. He also called her and reminded her that he'd done her the favor of dropping her off at home.
Ultimately, according to the woman, he arrived at her house in uniform, kissed and fondled her. When she told him to leave, he said he'd come back later.
The next night, she and a friend saw him standing outside her window.
She claimed being very frightened by his repeated appearances, which trailed off after she told him her boyfriend would be moving in and that he should stop coming around.
The woman said that she brought the case to the attention of authorities after reading about another alleged harassment case reported last summer.
Last August, a woman reported Geving made unwanted sexual advances towards her while in uniform when she was working at a Stillwater motel. According to charges filed by the Dakota County Attorney, she accompanied him through the hallways and, at one point, started rubbing her back and offered to "relieve that stress."
He returned later in street clothes and started whispering things to her at the front desk and asked what the price of a room was. The woman told him that he needed to go home, at which time he left the motel.
Geving has been charged with a pattern of harassing conduct, a felony, as well as gross misdemeanor counts of harassment, stalking and fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct.
