SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento police officer was arrested following accusations he recorded intimate encounters with women without their consent.
On Monday, the Sacramento Police Department announced the arrest of officer Benjamin Gray on suspicion of the off-duty crimes, which stemmed from a Folsom Police Department investigation.
Gray ultimately turned himself in to the Sacramento County jail. He was placed on administrative leave back on Jan. 17 and also had his police officer powers removed after Folsom police told Sacramento police they were pursuing a criminal complaint related to Gray.
Gray will be on leave as the investigation continues.
“As peace officers we should hold ourselves to the highest standards, both on and off-duty. This alleged criminal behavior is both disturbing and unacceptable and weakens the trust between law enforcement and the community, which we work so hard every day to build and maintain,” Chief Katherine Lester said in a press release.
The arrest warrant for Gray was issued on the following charges:
- 632(a) PC (Recording confidential communication without consent)
- 647(j)(3)(A) PC (Video recording of intimate settings without consent
