Former Muscatine police officer sentenced to up to 10 years in prison [View all]
http://muscatinejournal.com/news/local/muscatine/former-muscatine-police-officer-sentenced-to-up-to-years-in/article_08b7002d-5164-5fb2-ad3b-6df3766289da.htmlDistrict Judge Mark Lawson sentenced Tovar, 49, to up to 10 years in prison.
"You violated a public trust. Hopefully, this will send a message to the community that no one is above the law," Lawson said directing his remarks at Tovar.
Tovar was an on-duty officer with the Muscatine Police Department in February 2013 when he drove the victim, (note: I will exclude the name - it is in the article), to the Clarion Hotel in Muscatine after her boyfriend was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
Tovar than proceeded to have sexual intercourse with her. Martin testified she was intoxicated, and had little memory of the night.
Sometimes justice does take place
