Woman Claims Ferguson Officer Raped Her

A woman filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday against a Ferguson, Missouri corrections officer alleging he raped her while she was in jail last year. The woman, who is unnamed, says she was stopped by a police officer for having expired license plates. She was arrested and given two tickets after giving him a false name, but during her booking, she alleges Jaris Hayden brought her into the boiler room of the city’s jail and forced to perform oral sex and have intercourse with him. She then went to the emergency room, and DNA analysis has supposedly linked pubic hair to Hayden. Hayden was arrested on four felony charges and released after posting bond.
