Chicago police are investigating accusations that a group of officers had improper sexual contact with newly arrived immigrants.
One of the officers, assigned to the Ogden District, covering Lawndale and Little Village, has been accused of impregnating a teenage girl, law enforcement sources said Thursday.
Multiple other officers are accused of engaging in sexual acts with immigrants.
A police spokesperson said the department’s Bureau of Internal Affairs and the city’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability are investigating.
As the city has struggled to accommodate an influx of new arrivals being sent from the southern U.S. border, controversy has brewed over the decision to temporarily house many of them at police stations.
