A police officer in Longwood, Fla., accused of inappropriately touching a teen girl has been accused of sexual harassment before, Local 6 News has learned.
Officer Art Lews, 37, was arrested this week after a 14-year-old girl claimed he touched her inappropriately.
A report said the girl's grandparents called police after they suspected the girl had sex with her boyfriend.
When Lewis arrived, he allegedly took the girl into another room and said he needed to perform an "exam" on her, police told Local 6 News.
In 2003, the Altamonte Springs Police Department investigated Lewis after a co-worker claimed he had sexually harassed her but there was not enough evidence to support the claim, according to the report.
