Bremen Contact Officer Convicted of Sexual Harassment, Given Four-Month Suspended Term

Disciplinary proceedings will resume once the judgment becomes final.

Overview

  • The court imposed a six-month sentence and cut it to four months because of a two-year unlawful delay, setting a two-year probation period.
  • The conviction stems from an April 26, 2021 visit to a 30-year-old’s apartment, where the officer used police information to find her, pressured her and forced a kiss.
  • In a separate July 22, 2021 incident, the officer was acquitted after evidence left consent and key details unresolved.
  • The judgment is not yet legally binding; the officer had already been suspended, and pay cuts were initiated during the pending case.
  • The judge referenced indications of a recurring pattern based on another witness’s account, though that allegation was not part of the charges.
