Baltimore Police Officer Daniel Oxendine, 32, was trusted to drive a domestic violence victim home after a June 2 call. Prosecutors say he sent her son outside, claimed he needed to “check the apartment” — despite no jurisdiction and, by his own admission, a radio that didn’t even work there — and then attacked her. His body-worn camera was off.
A search-warrant DNA sample matched evidence from a hospital forensic exam. Fox45 reports the DNA statistic at one in forty octillion. When detectives told him he was on camera for roughly 40 minutes, he said he “wasn’t sure how long he might have been in the area.”
On August 27, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office charged him with two counts of first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree rape, two counts of a law-enforcement officer engaging in a sex act with a witness, burglary with intent, and misconduct in office. A judge denied bond the next day, calling him a danger to the community. BPD suspended him without pay. Sheriff Jeff Gahler says investigators believe there may be other victims.
