Veteran San Jose police officer Geoffrey Graves was arrested earlier this week after being charged with sexually assaulting a woman he met while on duty, according to a San Jose Mercury News report.
Graves was among four police officers arriving at the victim's home in response to a domestic disturbance call shortly after 2 a.m. on September 22 last year.
The 38-year-old escorted the unidentified woman, a maid, to a nearby hotel where she once worked.
Graves allegedly waited in the hotel's parking lot until a second officer left on another call, before proceeding to the woman's room.
Once there he allegedly grabbed the woman, who resisted verbally and physically, and forced himself on her before leaving the hotel roughly 10 minutes later.
"Physical evidence corroborates the victim's allegations. The victim positively identified the defendant during the investigation of this incident," read a report signed by Internal Affairs sergeant Craig Storlie.
The victim first reported the incident three weeks later and Graves was arrested on Monday following a five month investigation.
The predatory police officer spent no time in custody, however, after speedily posting the required $100,000 bail. Graves' arraignment is set for March 24.
