Cops Accused Of Raping Drunk Woman

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York City Police Department is
investigating a complaint that two police officers raped an
intoxicated woman after they escorted her home to her Manhattan
apartment.
Police say the two officers, who have not been identified, have
been placed on modified duty while prosecutors look into the
allegations.
The owner of a bar near the accuser's apartment told the New
York Times that the bar's video surveillance system shows the two
police officers helping the woman into her building on Dec. 7 and
returning twice during the next two hours. The owner says she gave
the video to investigators.
A lawyer for one of the officers has denied the allegations.
