Florida police officer is facing charges of battery and unlawful compensation after allegedly coercing a homeless woman into performing oral sex on him while on duty.
Jamar Lee, an officer with the Lauderhill police department, was arrested in January for crimes he allegedly committed two years ago.
According to investigators, in the morning hours of February 25th, 2020, Lee was on patrol when he saw a woman sitting in a parked car located in the drive-thru of a closed Dunkin’ Donuts at 1599 N. SR 7.
When the woman told Lee she was homeless, Lee told her he needed to consult with other officers and asked her to follow his marked police vehicle to the rear alley of 4093 Northwest 16th Street.
Once they arrived in the alley, Lee told the woman to get out of the car and complimented the look of her body, making “sexually suggestive comments," and began touching the woman against her will by stroking her hand and brushing the side of her body.
When the woman said she felt uncomfortable and suggested they move from the alley, Lee allegedly told her “what are you going to do for me if I let you go?".
Lee then allegedly told the woman to touch his penis while resting the palm of his hands on his gun.
The woman told police she grabbed Lee's penis on the outside of his uniform because she didn't want to get in trouble.
According to Miami Herald, after the woman let go, Lee told her that he'd give her a place to stay and money if she remained quiet, before telling the woman he wanted her to perform oral sex on him.
Lee instructed the woman to drive to a third location but as the woman followed Lee in her vehicle, she turned in the opposite direction and drove to her boyfriend’s residence, where she called police to report what happened.
Video surveillance and police vehicle GPS data verified that Lee met with the woman at the Dunkin’ Donuts and the alley before driving from the area.
In a statement Tuesday, the city of Lauderhill said the 28-year-old officer had fewer than two years on the force has been suspended without pay since the charges were filed last October.
