A 28-year-old man and now-former Raleigh police officer, Tremale Cogdell, is facing charges after he allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with a crash victim in North Carolina. The Raleigh police chief called his alleged crimes “troubling and disgraceful.”

As reported by WRAL News, citing Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce, the investigation into Cogdell was launched on September 26. The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) contacted the Raleigh Police Department (RPD) regarding an incident that occurred on September 12, and Cogdell was immediately put on administrative leave.

Chief Boyce revealed during a press conference that Cogdell allegedly encountered a female crash victim at the time. Boyce is accused of driving the victim to his residence and having a sexual encounter with her.
