Bradley Stewart Wagner, a former Anaheim police officer and a Perris resident, has pleaded guilty to the California felony crimes of oral copulation under the color of authority, forcible oral copulation, false imprisonment by violence or deceit, and sexual battery by restraint. He also pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor crime of being an officer acting without regular process.
The 62-year-old was arrested in November 2005 after an undocumented woman claimed that the cop threatened to deport her if she did not perform a sex act on him. Following the 40-year-old's allegations, two other undocumented women came forward. One woman accused him of sexually assaulting her. The other woman said that over a three-month-period, Wagner pulled her over four times and asked her personal questions. He never ticketed her for any violations. All of the incidents occurred while he was on duty as an Anaheim police officer.

Aileen Mignosa's Orange County, California personal injury lawsuit alleges battery, assault, stalking, false imprisonment, deprivation of civil rights, and intentional infliction of emotional distress by former Huntington Beach police officer James Roberts III.
Roberts, who was arrested in September and fired from his job in April following an internal investigation, has pleaded not guilty to 20 felony counts. His wife also filed a Huntington Beach civil rights violation complaint against the city for the sexual assault and abuse that she says the former cop committed against her.
