Los Angeles: An off-duty LAPD Officer stands accused of sexual assault following a holiday celebration at a hotel near Los Angeles International Airport.
Police Officer Eduardo Bermudez, 29 years of age, assigned to Pacific Area Patrol Division, two years on the Department, was arrested Sunday morning, December 7, 2008, at around 8:00 a.m. by detectives assigned to Internal Affairs Division. Officer Bermudez was booked for California Penal Code Section 664-261, Attempt Rape. Officer Bermudez was booked at Men's Central Jail and was held on $100,000 bail.

Internal Affairs Division has assumed responsibility for the investigation.

OUCH!
A beutiful woman was at a bar and a gentle man offered her a drink. She politely replies, "no thank you its bad for my legs." The kind man replies do they swell. No replies the young woman, "they spead." Moral of the story the female officer probably had too much to drink and her legs spread at her own will. Be a woman and own your own actions!
No, she didn't have too much to drink and spread her legs. He violently tried to rape her injuring her in the process. It is sad you are spreading the same comments at ever site you can find. You are either him or one of his shills looking to spin this.
