LAPD officer convicted of one off-duty rape, acquitted of another
After a day and a half of deliberations, a jury found a veteran Los Angeles police officer guilty Thursday of raping a woman while he was off duty in 2015.
The investigation into Rodriguez began after a woman who knew him reported she had been sexually assaulted in November 2018. Rodriguez’s attorney said he spoke with several jurors after the verdict was read and heard that the question of consent was “paramount” in their analysis.
