Officer Accused Of Performing 'Exam' On Girl

POSTED: Monday, December 4, 2006
UPDATED: 12:03 am EST December 5, 2006

A 37-year-old police officer in Longwood, Fla., was arrested on suspicion he performed a lewd and lascivious act on a young girl, authorities told Local 6 News.

Lewis was dispatched to a home last month after receiving a call from the grandparents of a 14-year-old girl who suspected she was having sex with her boyfriend.

The girl said Lewis questioned her about having sex with her boyfriend and asked her if she had been "checked," the report said.

"She then stated that he told her to remove her pants," Longwood police Officer Herb Stewartson said. "And then he performed some type of what you can think of as an exam. It is a shock and completely out of left field. Nobody expected this."

Investigators believed the girl's story to be credible, the report said.

"It is one of those things that comes down as a he said, she said," Stewartson said. "The unfortunate part with this is that we are held to a higher standard. We have to have the public's trust."

Lewis was terminated from his job at the Longwood Police Department, Local 6 News reported.

"I have no comment," Lewis said Monday night. "I will have my day in court."

Lewis was hired by the Longwood Police Department on March 23.
