Former Calif. cop arraigned on federal charges


The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A former police officer from Bell is scheduled to be arraigned this morning on federal civil rights charges alleging that he sexually assaulted a woman while he was on duty.

Thirty-3-year-old Feliciano Sanchez of Pico Rivera was arrested last week by FBI agents.

A two-count indictment returned by a Los Angeles federal grand jury accuses Sanchez of deprivation of rights under color of law and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence.

The indictment says Sanchez sexually assaulted the victim last May after conducting a traffic stop. He is accused of driving the woman to a remote location, where he forced her to perform a sex act.

Sanchez worked for the Bell Police Department for 3 1/2 years and was fired in September.
