Cop accused of forcing women to have sex

LOS ANGELES Officer Russell Mecano was taken into custody earlier this week at the West Los Angeles Police Station, where he worked as a patrol officer.

The eight-year veteran is accused of forcing women he met on duty to have sex with him.

Police declined to release further details, saying that a judge ordered the indictment against Mecano be sealed.

He's free on $127,000 bail pending his arraignment Nov. 6.
