Testimony in a federal civil rights trial revealed that the New Orleans Police Department knew about potential misconduct by Officer Vicknair before he sexually assaulted a teen.
Cziment testified that the New Orleans Police Department planned to arrest Officer Vicknair hours before he allegedly assaulted a girl, indicating a failure to act on warnings.
Hutson expressed concern for the girl's safety, emphasizing the urgent need for the department to intervene after being alerted to potential abuse by one of their officers.
Despite being informed about potential sexual abuse, NOPD officials, including Ferguson, took no action to prevent the assault from occurring, raising serious accountability questions.
