The female driver reported it, DNA testing confirmed it and officer David Alex Park finally admitted it.<\/p>\n<p>When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that Park wasn\u2019t responsible for making sticky all over the woman\u2019s sweater. He insisted that she made the married patrolman make the mess\u2014after all, she was on her way home from work as a dancer at Captain Cream Cabaret.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe got what she wanted,\u201d said Stokke. \u201cShe\u2019s an overtly sexual person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A jury of one woman and 11 men\u2014many white and in their 50s or 60s\u2014agreed with Stokke. On Feb. 2, after a half-day of deliberations, they found Park not guilty of three felony charges that he\u2019d used his badge to win sexual favors during the December 2004 traffic stop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocweekly.com\/news\/news\/illegally-park-ed\/26661\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Story Link<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"color:#008;text-align:right\"><em>Powered by<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qumana.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Qumana<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After reading this story, I couldn&#8217;t believe that this happened in the US and in California of all places!!
