“She was told, ‘this is just among us.’ Then after several days, the victim realized she had to report,” Lagradante said.
The suspects have been disarmed and face both administrative and criminal cases once the allegations are proven.
The policewoman has since been transferred to the EPD headquarters where she was described as "emotionally distressed" although "stable."
