More victims are possible in sex crime case against officer

An Oklahoma City police officer was being held in jail Thursday night after being accused of a string of on-duty sexual assaults in a case described as �disturbing� by the city's police chief.

Daniel Ken Holtzclaw, 27, a three-year veteran of the Oklahoma City Police Department, was arrested about 3 p.m. Thursday outside Gold's Gym, 2301 W Memorial Road, on complaints of rape, forcible oral sodomy, sexual battery and indecent exposure. He was being held in the Oklahoma County jail in lieu of $5 million bail.

The arrest was announced at a short-notice 4 p.m. news conference featuring Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty and Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater.

Holtzclaw is accused of stopping women � some as they walked through neighborhoods � and threatening them with arrest, Citty said. Police said Holtzclaw forced women to expose themselves, fondled the women, and in at least one instance, had intercourse with a woman, Citty said.

Holtzclaw, an Enid native, worked the 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift at the Springlake Division, which predominately patrols the (black folks) northeast part of Oklahoma City. Police said most incidents happened at the location of the stops, but some victims were taken to remote locations.

Citty said the case angered and disturbed him, and he praised his detectives for their work in identifying additional victims.

�Trust is something that we are constantly having to work on,� Citty said. �When something like this happens, I have to hope that most of the community realizes that our officers, 99.9 percent of them, are trustworthy, and when something like this happens, our officers take this very personally.�

Investigators have received statements from six women, and one woman is scheduled to provide a statement, Citty said. The chief said all the victims are black women between the ages of 34 and 58, and the incidents occurred from February to June in the area of Lincoln Boulevard to Interstate 35 and NE 14 to NE 50.

Detectives began investigating Holtzclaw after a woman complained to police June 18. He was placed on administrative leave the same day.

�We started the investigation and we started looking at traffic stops he had made throughout the previous months to try to identify and initiate contact with females that we knew he had stopped during that period of time, just to see if they had been sexually assaulted,� Citty said.

Prater said he anticipates charges against Holtzclaw will be filed by Aug. 29.

Citty said authorities feel there are additional victims in the case.

�We are releasing the picture and if there is anyone that was victimized by this officer, we certainly want to hear from them,� Citty said.

Any possible victims are asked to call the Oklahoma City police sex crimes unit at 297-1133.

Holtzclaw was one of four Oklahoma City police officers named in a wrongful-death lawsuit filed in the May 1, 2013, death of Clifton Armstrong, 38. The lawsuit was filed in January.


Daniel Holtzclaw

This is just because of the crap in Ferguson, MO.

Rape is a powerful tool that enforcers need to have in their bag of tricks to keep folks in line.

Lifetime in jail, hope he enjoys it...

Downs syndrome? his eyes look weird... no sympathy here.

Sick fugger. Oughtta be de-nutted.

Karma's gonna get him in the azz, literally

99.9 percent of them, are trustworthy

LOL

While there is no accounting for taste in this cops particular case, the 'plant bag' for a sex or jail stop is a long and widely known police ploy. Their alternate ploy is to just stalk some event with a high probability for hot girls committing some offense a college game or party, a strip club at closing, and a concert are typical.

As long advised. tell your daughters when they start driving to continue to a public place when stopping for a cop if at all practical. Now, making sure that she has a hands free and camera phone to call the police and you when stopped and recording the stop to document it and put the cop on notice are all good additional precautions.

Bullet to the head would work as well saving taxpayers the money. The flip side is if he were black he would merely blame his victims and the community!

Yes he is one sick mother

It will likely slide at the state level and end up in federal court which is what state and local police are talking about if they ever say they do not like how the feds do things. If everyone is lucky he will be able to get back to taking the law unto the lawless.

Hang 'em up high and let him swing till the sun goes down.

As a peace officer this post pisses me off....until I remember how true it is. What really pisses me off is that its an unfortunate truth. I have told my wife, and will tell my daughter, the exact same thing.

The part that seems to escape most folsk, however, is that this really isnt anything new. There have been pervert cops for as long as their have been cops, its just easier to prove it nowadays, and I think we do a better job of policing ourselves now than we ever have. Not good enough, but better.

Here is another case that shows that it is still too hard to prove and to get rid of the perverts. Laudably, like you, some in your profession are none too happy about it.

Alleged Sex Predator Cop to Hit the Streets of Philly Again: "I'm stuck with a guy who shouldn't be a cop" Says Police Commissioner

Most of this went the way it should have:

Cates partner watched the door while he did what he had to do and then he assisted in the arrest of the real perp in all of this. When some do-gooder went against police, the department did the best they could and then the DA did the right thing by not charging him. All was more or less good until the feds got involved. This was clearly a states rights issue the department should have fought.

Does anyone know which police groups are giving Holtzclaw legal assistance and what website(s) is handling the donation? Do we need to have a benefit auction here to help his legal needs and family(birth and extended blue)?

OKC police officer is accused

women claim they were sexually assaulted by Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw. Holtzclaw, 27, is
accused of 16 felonies, including rape, forcible sodomy, burglary and stalking.

The primary stalking grounds covered just a few blocks on Oklahoma City's
northeast side.

There, among overgrown lots, boarded up houses, abandoned businesses and
residents struggling to just get by, the women proved vulnerable prey.

The victims were all black, all with criminal histories of drug use or
prostitution.

For six months, prosecutors allege, Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Ken
Holtzclaw prowled the dimly lit nighttime streets of one of the state's poorest
neighborhoods engaging in an escalating level of sexual assaults, often while
on duty.

The incidents took place in private residences and in a police car parked on
streets or in empty lots, authorities say. The crimes advanced from groping, to
oral sodomy, to rape. The victims ranged in ages from 34 to 58.

The attacks stopped in June, only after Holtzclaw, 27, allegedly assaulted a
woman who immediately reported the incident to police. That report came
more than two months after another victim had come forward to tell police
she'd been assaulted by an unknown officer later alleged to be Holtzclaw.
Department officials say it wasn't until the second victim came forward that
they were able to link both cases to Holtzclaw. He was removed from duty the
day of the second assault. In the weeks that followed, police would canvass
neighborhoods, examine Holtzclaw's police computer searches and review the
global tracking system on Holtzclaw's police vehicle to trace his movements.

The day of Holtzclaw's arrest last month, Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty
held a news conference and said he was angry and disturbed by the
allegations and condemned the attacks. Within days, one of the department's
top-ranking officers also hosted a meeting with about 30 religious leaders in
the community seeking to defuse any anger. Citty declined further comment
Friday.

Hotlzclaw, son and brother-in-law of law enforcement officers, a former
college football star and three-year department veteran, is charged with two
counts of first-degree rape and several other counts of forcible oral sodomy,
sexual battery, indecent exposure, burglary and stalking. Eight victims have
been identified already, and investigators say there could be more.

On Wednesday, Oklahoma County District Judge Timothy Henderson agreed to
lower Holtzclaw's bail from $5 million to $500,000. Holtzclaw was released
Friday after posting a cash bond. He will stay with his parents in Enid and wear
a monitor to track his whereabouts.

He is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 18 for a preliminary hearing
conference.

Holtzclaw's attorney, Scott Adams, said Friday that the case has been difficult
for his client.

�He thought his relationship with the community was good,� Adams said. �The
problem is, I think, it's (distrust of police) probably pretty systemic in that
neighborhood. I have a lot of clients that live in that area, and I'm the first to
say that they're not very trusting of the police department, and certainly cases
like this don't help foster that any more. It's such a sensitive matter, too,
obviously. But, again, Daniel is adamant that he didn't do any of these things.�

Holtzclaw's family has expressed anger about what they consider a rush to
judgment.

�Let's get a few things straight, for those who are so quick to judge Daniel and
this situation,� read a message on the Facebook page �Justice For Daniel
Holtzclaw,� set up by his sister, Jenny, who expressed similar sentiments on
her personal Facebook page. �Let all the evidence come out and let Daniel
have his time in court.�

In a disadvantaged neighborhood, where many residents already feel forgotten
and often view police with distrust, Holtzclaw's alleged crimes have further
eroded confidence in law enforcement, residents say.

Gloria Scoggins, 54, lives in a house across the street from where Holtzclaw is
alleged to have assaulted his first victim.

�We are still a pretty tight community, but I don't think anyone really trusts the
police,� she said.

Standing near the end of her driveway one day last week, Scoggins shook her
head as she looked at the now boarded-up house across the street.

�Probably now, more than ever.�

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following sections allege encounters between Holtzclaw
and eight victims. The quotes and descriptions, especially quotes attributed to
Holtzclaw, come from court records and testimony. Holtzclaw did not speak to
The Oklahoman for this story.

Court records and testimony in the case allege the following encounters
between Holtzclaw and eight victims:

The first known assault took place Feb. 27, just past midnight, in the 1500
block of NE 15 St., a few blocks east of the OU Medical Center in the
Culbertson East Highland neighborhood. The neighborhood sits in one of the
poorest census tracts in the state, where the median household income hovers
around $14,000 a year, about one-third the state average, and 50 percent of
residents live in poverty. Eighty percent of the residents are black and 10
percent are white.

It was into this tough neighborhood, part of the sprawling Springlake Patrol
Division covering much of the city's north side, that Holtzclaw went to work
straight from the police acad emy. He worked third shift � 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.,
often patrolling alone. He stood 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 260 pounds,
40 pounds over his listed playing weight when he amassed more than 400
tackles and 18 sacks as a record-setting Division 1 football player at Eastern
Michigan University. He'd grown up in Enid, the son of a longtime city
policeman and stay-at-home mom and grandson of the dean of the OU Health
Sciences Center. After unsuccessful attempts to make an NFL team, he'd
joined the police department in September 2010. A fitness and weightlifting
enthusiast, Holtzclaw attended LifeChurch in Edmond.

The first victim would later tell investigators she was sitting in her car with her
children and a friend in front of her home when two police cars blocked her in.
After running her friend's license and finding he had no warrants, one officer
left on another call. A second officer, young and burly, lingered. He asked the
woman if there were drugs in the house, whether they were going to buy
drugs, whether she had any on her. He ordered the friend and children inside
the house so he could talk to the woman alone in his patrol car. He checked
her for warrants. He found three. In a recent court hearing, a police detective
testified about the conversation that followed.

�What are we going to do about this?� Holtzclaw asked.

The woman said Holtzclaw told her he needed to search her and told her to lift
her shirt.

The woman said she lifted her shirt, exposing her belly. She knew the protocol.
She knew she wouldn't have to show more without a female officer present.

�No. That won't work,� he told her. �I need you to lift it all the way.�

When she did, Holtzclaw fondled her, the woman said.

It would be the first of three such encounters the woman would have with
Holtzclaw over the course of the next month.

About two weeks later, on March 14, about two blocks east, near NE 16 St. and
Fonshill Avenue, another woman was walking down a street pocked with
vacant lots when a police officer pulled to the crumbling curb and asked her
for identification. A warrant check turned up a history of drugs and
prostitution.

The same routine followed. The officer told the woman to raise her shirt and
expose her breasts.

When detectives later tracked down the woman, she said she never reported
the incident because she didn't want to make trouble for herself or the people
in her neighborhood.

On March 25, authorities allege Holtzclaw returned to the first victim's house
on NE 15 St. She wasn't home, but inside, Holtzclaw found the woman's
boyfriend, Terry Wayne Williams, sleeping in one of the bedrooms. Holtzclaw
shook him awake, asked where the woman was, ran a warrant check on the
man, then ordered him to leave, saying he didn't want to see him around the
house anymore. When the woman returned home some time later, Holtzclaw
told her children to go inside the house then told her he could take care of her
warrants �if you play by my rules.�

The woman told police she knew that meant more sexual favors. Told to
expose her breasts and vagina, she said she complied.

The next day, Holtzclaw again showed up at the woman's house and tried to
get inside.

The woman, who was cooking dinner and talking to her mother on the phone,
told him to go away.

Holtzclaw threatened to arrest both the woman and her mother, before leaving.

�I'll be back,� he warned.

Looking back, Scoggins, the victim's neighbor, said she remembers hearing the
woman complain several months ago about being bullied by police.

�She was livid,� Scoggins recalled. �She said police kept pulling her over for no
reason.�

Attacks escalate

On April 14, just a block away from the first victim's house, authorities say
Holtzclaw stopped another woman near NE 16 Street and Jordan Avenue. He'd
stopped the same woman and done a warrant search three weeks earlier.

He asked what she was doing in the area. Did she have any dope on her? Was
she trying to buy some?

He did another warrant search. He told her he was going to search her and
ordered her to turn around. When the woman turned and raised her arms, she
said Holtzclaw groped her from behind, then told her she was free to go.

Ten days later, on April 24, Holtzclaw came across his fourth victim as she
walked near NE 14 Street and Jordan Avenue. The woman said she was honest
with Holtzclaw, telling him that she had a history with prostitution and drug
addiction, had relapsed and had been smoking crack. Holtzclaw found a crack
pipe in the woman's purse and made her smash it on the ground.

Holtzclaw then drove the woman to her home about five blocks away.

�He pulled up in the drive way like he lived there,� the woman later told police.

The woman said she didn't invite Holtzclaw inside the house, but also didn't
want to tell him no since she was on probation and didn't want to go to jail.

Once inside, the two made their way to her bedroom, where the woman said
Holtzclaw told her, �This is better than county,� before sodomizing and raping
her.

Two weeks later, on May 7, Holtzclaw struck again, picking up a woman
walking near NE 18 Street and Highland Drive.

He ordered the woman into the back of his patrol car where he sodomized her,
then drove to a nearby abandoned school where he hopped a curb, parked
between the building and a tree and raped her. As he drove away, Holtzclaw
told the woman, �have a good night.�

The very next day, Holtzclaw picked up another woman walking near the 2700
block of N Lindsay Avenue. He drove a few blocks, rounded a corner and
parked in the 700 block of NE 24 Street, just north of the Oklahoma History
Center, where he sodomized her in the back seat.

Afterward, the woman said Holtzclaw drove her through the neighborhood,
before stopping near a vacant field. Fearing he was going to kill her, the
woman said she began screaming before Holtzclaw let her go.

It would take the woman more than two weeks before she approached several
officers working another case in the area to tell them what had happened. It
was the first inkling the department had of a potential predator in their ranks.

The case went to Detective Rocky Gregory, a longtime veteran of the
department's sex crimes unit, who spent the next two weeks trying to find the
May 7 victim.

Meanwhile, on May 26, a woman was walking near NE 16 Street and Jordan
Avenue when a police car speeding around a corner almost hit her.

The officer rolled down his window.

�Haven't I taken you to jail before?� Holtzclaw asked the woman.

He hadn't, but he had stopped her and checked her name for outstanding
warrants about two months earlier.

This time, he searched her for drugs, fondled her, then let her go.

Weeks later, when detectives investigating the case approached the woman
about whether she'd been assaulted by a police officer, she immediately broke
into tears.

The last attack

On June 18, Holtzclaw had just finished his shift and was driving outside his
normal patrol area when he pulled over a car near NE 50 Street and N Lincoln
Boulevard.

The woman told police she saw a car pull up next to her on NE 50 Street before
dropping behind and activating the car's emergency lights as she crossed over
N Lincoln Boulevard.

Holtzclaw had turned off both the computer in his patrol car and a global
positioning system that tracked the car's movement.

He ordered the driver into the back of his patrol car and asked if she had any
drugs.

�If you have something on you and you tell me now, then I won't take you to
jail,� Holtzclaw told the woman. �But if you don't tell me about it now, and I
find something, then I'm gonna take you to jail.�

The woman, who had a drug arrest from the 1980s but no history of
prostitution, insisted she didn't have any drugs and was returning home after
a night spent playing dominoes at a friend's house.

�I'll still need to check you,� Holtzclaw told her. �Raise your shirt.� She lifted the
shirt to her belly, but Holtzclaw insisted she raise it higher. He shined his
flashlight on her breasts and told her to pull down her pants.

Holtzclaw then sodomized the woman, despite her pleas for him to stop.

The woman drove home and tried to call police, but got no answer. She drove
to the police station. Right away, detectives noted similarities between her
encounter and that of the May 7 victim.

Holtzclaw was placed on paid leave later that day.

Now, detectives, including Kim Davis, a 13-year veteran of the sex crimes unit,
began to pore over Holtzclaw's logs, warrant searches and arrest reports and
began interviewing people he'd come into contact with while on duty.

They noticed a pattern. The victims all were black, appeared to be middle-aged
and had histories of drug use or prostitution. Most of the attacks also
occurred within blocks of each other.

Investigators would go to great lengths to track down potential victims, going
from rehab clinics, to homeless shelters to known drug houses.

When they approached the victim of the Feb. 7 assault, she described her
attacker as a big man with short black hair that seemed to stand up. She'd
given him a nickname � Spike.

As police found the women, they checked their stories against searches
Holtzclaw had made on his police computer and the tracking device that
traced the movements of Holtzclaw's police cruiser. Everything matched.

They found that the day after the May 7 attack, Holtzclaw had searched the
victim's name twice in police databases. Detectives believe he was looking to
see if she had reported the assault to police.

�He's stepping out,� Assistant District Attorney Gayland Gieger said Wednesday
in court. �He's getting bolder.�

On Aug. 21, police arrested Holtzclaw at an Edmond gym.

Many residents of Culbertson East Highland are reluctant to talk about recent
events in their neighborhood. Some said they feared retribution from other
police officers. Others said they just wanted to mind their own business.

The Rev. Sterling Mitchell, 62, pastor of Amos Memorial Christian Methodist
Episcopal Church, 1301 NE 18 St., said people in most cases have confidence
in the police.

�But when things like this happen, there is distrust,� he said.

With noticeable frustration in his voice, Garland Pruitt, president of the
Oklahoma City chapter of the NAACP, said there is a long-standing legacy of
distrust for law enforcement in the neighborhood.

�There's a good reason behind not completely and totally trusting our so-
called law enforcement to do the right thing,� Pruitt said. �When you see
injustice with your own eyes, when you experience injustice, unfair treatment,
when you see it and experience it, it's a great reason to have a little distrust.�

Pruitt said he walks those same streets everyday, and that people in the
community believe Holtzclaw is not the only city officer to push their authority
past legal limits.

�Their major concern is that this particular one just got caught,� Pruitt said.

The pervasive feeling, he said, is a sense of betrayal.

�When you're in a position of 'to protect and serve,' we expect to be able to call
on you for help, call on you to save us, rescue us, pull us out of a situation,
versus being the (one) causing havoc on the community,� Pruitt said.

A woman who runs a hair salon on Lottie Avenue said she's upset about the
negative attention the attacks have brought regarding crime and poverty in
the neighborhood.

�Everybody will forget about this and nothing will change,� the woman said, not
taking her eyes off of her soap opera on a nearby television. �This is the
northeast side, and that's the way it's always been.�


(That last sentence is so untrue. I grew up in those neighborhoods back in the 1950s. This was one of the nicest, cleanest, and whitest parts of Oklahoma City. Then the [bleep] started moving in and before long, it was not safe to lve there anymore. My dad fled and took us across town to another white enclave and the [bleep] destroyed beautiful NE Oklahoma City. In 1969 I was bussed back across town to attend high school there when OKC was ordered to segregate the schools.)

I wonder how many women Sherp has raped while on duty? Alot, I'm sure. Sick fugger.

Oklahoma NAACP president requests federal investigation

The president of the Oklahoma NAACP has written a letter to the U.S. attorney general requesting a federal hate crimes and civil rights investigation into alleged sexual assaults on black women by Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Ken Holtzclaw.

Holtzclaw, 27, of Oklahoma City, was arrested Aug. 21 and accused of groping and raping several black women during a series of attacks that occurred from February through June while he was on duty patrolling the city�s northeast side.

Police have said there are at least eight alleged victims.

Holtzclaw was charged with 16 felonies, including two counts of first-degree rape, four counts of sexual battery, four counts of forcible oral sodomy, four counts of indecent exposure, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of stalking. Holtzclaw denies the allegations, his attorney, Scott Adams, has said.

�The facts that have begun to emerge surrounding the Aug. 21, 2014, arrest of Oklahoma City Police Officer Holtzclaw raise potentially serious concerns, particularly because it may be part of a continuing pattern of police brutality, misconduct, corruption and the use of excessive force and the use of deadly force by this police officer against unarmed African Americans,� Anthony Douglas, president of the Oklahoma State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said in an Aug. 28 letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.

Douglas said news reports have suggested Holtzclaw�s actions �may be symptomatic of larger racial profiling of African Americans in Oklahoma City.�

Holder�s office did not respond to requests for comment.

Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty said Friday that he has not heard anything from Holder or the U.S. Department of Justice, but stressed the police department will cooperate fully if a federal civil rights investigation is ordered.

�We take all of our complaints very seriously,� Citty said. �Obviously, this is almost about as bad as it can get ... in abuse of power by a police officer taking advantage of people he�s supposed to protect.�

Citty said the department has been proactive in trying to prevent racial profiling, even scheduling the Department of Justice months ago to train local trainers to present classes on racial profiling to Oklahoma City officers.

Citty said he is proud of the vigorous way police officers investigated the complaint against their colleague.

Holtzclaw was released from jail on $500,000 bail and is under house arrest at his parents� Enid home, where he is required to wear a GPS ankle monitor while awaiting trial. He was placed on paid administrative leave by the police chief.

Douglas told the U.S. attorney general he applauded the Oklahoma City Police Department for investigating and arresting Holtzclaw, but hopes federal officials will expand the investigation to look at its civil rights ramifications.

Douglas said he would like federal officials to look not only into the facts of this specific case, but also �the potential for any pattern or practice of police misconduct by the Oklahoma City Police Department.�

A copy of Douglas� letter also was delivered to Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt.

�We have received the letter, and we are currently reviewing it,� said Will Gattenby, Pruitt�s press secretary.

Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said his office will continue to monitor the situation.

I am not a police officer so no lawful reason for me to be committing rape.

I also know that police officers rarely do anything by themselves. Like Cates, Holtzclaw likely had help as he was keeping civilians in line.

Why do you hate police? Why do you want this officer punished for doing the best he could in a difficult situation?

I see a ray of hope that the police are trying to help their brother!! This should get your cop hating panties in a wad!!

https://www.ok.gov/osbi/documents/SDA_Lawbook_NOV_2012.pdf


At the least, he wasn't charged for carrying a firearm in the commission of a felony!! LOL If that had been a civilian he would have been charged for that and had the $17.57 in his pocket forfeited under RICO laws!! LOL Holtzclaw and Lil' Holtz will be back enforcing the laws again in no time!!

UPDATE: 26 Sep

Oklahoma City police officer charged with 10 additional sex crimes

BY MATT DINGER
PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 26, 2014

An Oklahoma City police officer accused of sexually assaulting numerous women in northeast Oklahoma City is now accused of assaulting two additional women and violating his bond conditions.


Daniel Ken Holtzclaw, 27, faces additional counts of first-degree rape, second-degree rape by instrumentation, four counts of sexual battery, two counts of forcible oral sodomy, one count of indecent exposure and one count of procuring lewd exhibition. The 10 new felony counts were filed Friday in Oklahoma County District Court.

The new counts include allegations that Holtzclaw assaulted a woman while she was handcuffed to a hospital bed.

Three previous counts of indecent exposure have also been amended to counts of procuring lewd exhibition. Holtzclaw was initially charged Aug. 29 with 14 assorted sex crimes, including rape, as well as counts of first-degree burglary and stalking.

Two additional victims were identified in court documents filed Friday. Both new victims came forward after seeing Holtzclaw in the news and identified him as the police officer who assaulted them, court records show.

There are now a total of 10 reported victims spanning 26 counts.

On the night of June 18, Holtzclaw reportedly picked up a woman walking on NE 16 and offered her a ride, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case. She agreed to let him take her halfway home, but instead he parked between two buildings at a vacant school where he assaulted her, the affidavit states.

Holtzclaw is also accused of having sex with that woman in the back seat of his patrol car, and telling her �I want to see you tomorrow night around the same time,� according to the affidavit.

Another woman told police that she was arrested by Holtzclaw on drug complaints in December near NE 27 and Lindsay Avenue. He took her to a southwest Oklahoma City hospital to be treated for drug usage, and then assaulted her while she was handcuffed to a bed in the hospital, according to a second probable cause affidavit.

Holtzclaw reportedly contacted the woman on Facebook after she was released from jail. In January, he went to the woman�s northwest Oklahoma City home in his personal vehicle, the affidavit states. Holtzclaw reportedly exposed himself to her inside the vehicle and requested oral sex and intercourse, but the woman declined and left the car, according to the affidavit.

Holtzclaw has also been accused of violating the terms of his electronic monitoring, less than two weeks after he was released from the Oklahoma County jail on a $500,000 bond, records show.

According to a bond-release program violation report, Holtzclaw left his parents� Enid home and went to what appeared to be a medical facility the morning of Sept. 17. He did not inform the case manager of any medical appointments scheduled for that day and was out of the home about 90 minutes, the report states.

Because of the new charges and the apparent violation of court conditions, prosecutors are seeking an increase in bond. The bail amount was originally set at $5 million, but was lowered by District Judge Timothy Henderson at a Sept. 3 hearing.

�As was presented in the bond hearing, there is still unidentified female DNA evidence from the defendant�s police uniform pants. This is a strong indicator there are even more victims to be located,� Assistant District Attorney Gayland Gieger wrote in the bond increase motion.

Prosecutors are asking the court to significantly increase the amount of bond or deny him bond altogether.

Defense attorney Scott Adams said Friday afternoon that he has not seen the new charges or evidence against Holtzclaw.

�Daniel has always maintained his innocence and swears up and down that he hasn�t done anything,� Adams said.

He also said Holtzclaw went to the doctor, but forgot to notify authorities.

�He had one mistake. He went to the doctor there in Enid. Other than that there haven�t been any hiccups to his bond. In Daniel�s defense to that, he�s never been in this situation before. He�s completely overwhelmed,� Adams said.

�It was just a communication error. Everybody is human. We�ve sat down and talked about it. It wasn�t anything malicious,� he said.

The bond increase motion hearing is set for Thursday morning.
