Nashville Escorts: Nashville police officer accused of rape while on duty

12 08 2010

Jeffrey Poole, 39, faces four counts of rape, four counts of official misconduct, two counts of sexual battery, one count of patronizing prostitution and one count of attempting to patronize prostitution. He was arrested Friday afternoon and was being held on $200,000 bail.
“There is absolutely no reason to believe that anyone else was involved with him in these acts,” Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said. “This is one individual who we believe severely betrayed the trust bestowed upon him by this police department and the citizens we serve.

Metro sex crimes detectives began their investigation in late April after a 27-year-old prostitute reported that Poole, in uniform and on duty as a South Precinct patrolman, stopped her as she walked the streets just south of downtown, patted her down to the point of fondling her and appeared to be making verbal propositions.

Detectives later interviewed three more women, two with prostitution histories, who said Poole had sexual contact with them in 2009 when he was on duty as a patrolman in the East Precinct.
