OCOEE, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida police sergeant is free on bond after being charged with stripping, fondling and spanking a woman against her will.

Ocoee police Sgt. Thomas Maroney was released from the Orange County jail late Thursday. His alleged victim told investigators the assault happened during a party earlier in the week. The woman said she and Maroney were walking around an apartment complex pond when he asked her for oral sex, pulled down her pants, touched her genitals, pinned her across his legs and spanked her on her bare backside with his hand - then a leather belt.

A sheriff's report says Maroney admitted he spanked the woman but said it was consensual.

The woman's attorney, Mark Lippman, disputes that, saying: "He brutalized her."

Most women give it up freely and then cry rape when they realize what they have done.My friend had it happen to him after a one night stand. Thats why people should be in commited relationships. People stopped respecting authority long before this happened and long before 'good cops went bad'. This cop was probably led to believe she was willing. Most men (I said MOST)aren't stupid if a girls not interested they aren't to embarrass themselves.
