Robinson Township officials are reviewing a criminal case against one of their police officers charged with sex offenses but haven't yet decided on what action to take against him.
Richard Charnovich, township manager, said today that the matter is under "legal advisement" but wouldn't say any more about Nigel Hodges, who was arrested on indecent assault charges on Saturday in connection with an incident on Oct. 7 at a North Fayette bar.
Township commissioners are meeting tonight and the issue will probably be discussed there.
Officer Hodges, 51, was charged with two counts of indecent assault and one count of indecent exposure, unlawful restraint, official oppression and harassment after an encounter with a 20-year-old bartender at the Tavern with the Lights bar.
In an affidavit, Allegheny County detectives said he tried to force himself on the young woman after the bar had emptied, then masturbated in front of her and grabbed her hand and sucked on her fingers.
The woman reported the incident to North Fayette police on Oct. 9, and officers there contacted county police for help.
According to the affidavit, the woman waited two days because Officer Hodges is a police officer, but a friend in whom she confided persuaded her to report the incident.

He ended up getting fired, but only five years probation...sex offenders should get jail time not a slap on the wrist. Plus, this pig didn't even have to register on Megan's Law and he still drives around with his FOP plates. It is disgusting!
Nigel Hodges is still driving around with his FOP plates...what a joke!
