Former Philadelphia Police Officer Richard DeCoatsworth being held in special custody
Former Philadelphia Police Officer Richard DeCoatsworth, 27, is charged with dozens of crimes for assaulting and raping three women.
Philadelphia Police Officer Richard DeCoatsworth was a hero cop -- lauded for helping to chase down the man who shot him in the face.
But now, the former officer is the one imprisoned -- in a cell reserved for the city's most dangerous criminals.
DeCoatsworth allegedly forced two women to take drugs and perform oral sex on him at gunpoint on May 18. Two weeks earlier, police say, he also forced one of those women into prostitution at the Days Inn hotel in the Lawncrest section of Philadelphia.
The former officer also allegedly assaulted his live-in girlfriend in a May 9th incident at his home along the 2700 block of Salmon Street in the Port Richmond section of the city, according to authorities.
The officer’s heroism earned him an invitation to sit next to First Lady Michelle Obama during President Barack Obama’s first congressional address at the U.S. Capitol
