Two Chicago police officers who sodomized man with screwdriver in 2004 are still on the force

On Aug. 28, 2004, Chicago Police Officer Scott Korhonen did something truly heinous to a young man named Coprez Coffie. Just 20 years old at the time, Coffie was spotted by Korhonen and his partner in what they claimed was a drug deal. Coffie, who was employed as a security guard at a local hotel, was then driven to an alley, handcuffed and strip-searched with his pants down. During the strip search, Korhonen got a screwdriver and jammed it deep into the rectum of Coffie — causing internal injuries to Coffie.

Yes, you read that correctly. Yes, that is not simply inappropriate, it is as illegal as it gets. Chicago Police Officer Scott Korhonen sexually assaulted Coprez Coffie. Coffie reported the injuries when they took him to the police station and immediately reported the injuries at St. Mary of Nazareth Hospital that same day. The man was literally bleeding from his rectum.

As you could imagine, Coprez Coffie refused to simply accept what happened to him. For the next three years he fought like hell to prove that he was brutalized and assaulted by Korhonen. At first, Coffie and his attorneys fought for the case to go to trial and filed several motions before judges requesting his day in court. In the meantime, the Chicago Police Department stonewalled and refused to even discipline Officer Korhonen or his partner, Officer Gerald Lodwich, who stood by and did nothing when the assault took place.

Finally, on Oct. 17, 2007 a civil jury found Officers Korhonen and Lodwichguilty of the “unreasonable search” and ordered the City of Chicago to pay Coffie a $4 million settlement plus nearly $675,000 for his legal fees. In the process of the investigation, it was determined that not only did the officers have screwdrivers in the glove compartment of their car, but that human fecal matter was found in the glove compartment as well. The injuries to Mr. Coffie’s rectum were also confirmed and documented.

Still, this was not good enough Coffie. It shouldn’t have been. These men deserved to go to jail for what they did. Anybody who did what they did should go to jail. So, Coffie continued to push for a new trial. The following year, in a preliminary ruling, look at what District Court Judge James Holderman said:

“Considering all the evidence, which is now conceded by the defense to be sufficient to support the jury's verdict for the plaintiff, including the circumstantial evidence, which strongly supports the jury's verdict for Coffie, this was a clear case. The evidence established by a preponderance of the evidence each of Coffie's claims that Korhonen unreasonably inserted a screwdriver in Coffie' rectum in violation of Coffie's constitutional rights and that Lodwich knowingly failed to stop Korhonen's unconstitutional conduct. In addition, the evidence clearly showed that Korhonen and Lodwich each knowingly testified falsely at the trial.”

Officers Scott Korhonen and Gerald Lodwich are still employed by the Chicago Police Department to this very day. Lodwich made $90,618 last year as an officer. The rapist Scott Korhonen made $87,384.

These men not only avoided jail time, they kept their jobs in law enforcement — in spite of costing the city nearly $5 million and multiple independent investigations finding that they were guilty of several felonies.

This is unthinkable. It is criminal. It is indicative of every single thing that is wrong with policing in America. These men should be fired immediately. No doubt the statute of limitations may have passed for their crimes, but they must never be in law enforcement again.

Every officer and superior who covered for these men should also be fired. All of this is criminal.

Is there a 'reasonable' way to insert a screwdriver into another's rectum?

So now that we have all seen this..how are we going to move forward to make leadership accountable in punishing these heinous crimes against humanity?

It's up to us..you realize that, right?

@bearkat42. I'd make friends with my representatives, congressman and senators alike. I'd make it my personal business..go down to their offices, sit outside the door with every infraction I could find on black deaths and have an endless loop with a lens on my laptop that will project halogram on virtually everything and anything.

It starts with you..it isn't until then, that this will stop.

It's not up to 'everyone' else..

I don't think that will achieve your goal of making friends with them.
Why only "black deaths"? Are you a racist?
 
Truly disgusting but not that unusual. I blame not only the police that did it but the whole "blue" crew. It's your house, fucking clean it or we will. Fewer and fewer decent people in the service.
Fuckheads like cat will defend these assholes until it happens to them. And I hope it does.

If we do not punish those who we entrust with enforcing or laws, we invite tyranny.

It is tyranny that we see every day, examples of which we see constantly, thanks to the efforts of many people like yourself.

Holding people accountable at ALL levels of government is the only way to avoid the complete loss of our freedoms.

Electing 'hard liners' is the fastest way to lose what few we have left.

I agree that all involved in the commission and the cover up of the crimes you reference should be held accountable.

But the house cleaning needs to go much further than that, I fear.

Who are you kidding ??? your freedom ? You consider your self free ???

There is no such thing as freedom,, your being watched non stop now, you can be detained indefinably with out being charged ..

Blind actually spoiled ,out of touch little children that will cry at every wrong doing ..

You are shielded from real time events around the world , you go to bed every night with a full stomach.
Where on other parts of the world the war goes on and kids are starving haven not ate in a week water is contaminated with DEATH unfit for a dog

You are easy to point a finger at the cause when the real cause started with you Cruelty runs rapid were taught to be cruel paleskids-ak47.jpg

I hear you, but unfortunately I don't live in Hollywood. That type of change only happens in the movies. Far greater people than me have tried and failed.

so the town with a Republican mayor sent a cop to prison and the town with a Democrat mayor didn't even fire the cops. Yet you somehow distort that into an indictment of Republicans?

A Republican mayor had nothing to do with why that asshole went to jail, Giuliani was pro cop...cops had a saying "it's Giuliano time".

Besides I was responding to bluebird who implied shit like this only happened in Democratic controlled cities. I was blowing his asinine comment out of the water. And then followed by another asinine comment made by another asswipe. How touching!

You didn't "blow his asinine comment out of the water", you reinforced it. You are really stupid
