Christopher Buckley Indicted on Two Counts of Forcible Rape of Juvenile

A New Orleans Police officer accused of rape was indicted by a grand jury Friday, according to a statement from the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office.

Christopher Buckley, 36, was indicted for two counts of forcible rape and two counts of molestation of a juvenile. His bond was set at $1.2 million, according to the district attorney’s office.

Buckley is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl who was the daughter of an acquaintance.

Shortly after Buckley's arrest, police chief Warren Riley confirmed that the NOPD investigated similar allegations against Buckely in 2001 and 2003, but that the department took no administrative action and the District Attorney’s Office refused to prosecute both times.
