A woman who escaped her kidnapper by punching her way out of a homemade cinder block cell at a home in southern Oregon likely saved other women from a similar fate, authorities said, by alerting them to a man they now suspect in sexual assaults in at least four more states.

    Yeah, what the other person said.

    If a person is in custody, most states don’t say an on duty cop can’t have sex with them.

    So the cop just starts doing it, the victim thinks saying no won’t help, or even does say no.

    Later the cop claims it’s consensual and since they turned off the cameras, it’s their word against their victim’s.

    And most won’t even report it, because it’s hard to believe other cops will do anything after they were just raped while in custody, either in a police car or even in a police station.
