A 7-year Delaware State Police trooper has been arrested and charged with sexual exploitation.
Corporal Joshua Giddings, who was assigned to Troop 9 in Odessa, has been arrested on charges of sexual exploitation, receiving a bribe and official misconduct.
State Police say the officer arrested a 39-year old New Castle woman on March 19th for shoplifting at the Christiana Mall. Following the arrest, investigators say Corporal Giddings and the woman agreed that the woman wouldn't be taken immediately to court if she agreed to perform a sexual favor. Instead, the officer issued a a summons to appear in court at a later date.
The woman told investigators the officer then drove to a secluded area and engaged in a sexual act with the woman, then drove her home.
Corporal Giddings has been placed on suspension without pay and benefits with the intent to dismiss him from the police force.
