A transgender police officer accused of sexually assaulting two colleagues has been elected a representative for women on the force in the German capital.
Berlin police announced on Tuesday that Judy S., 27, had received 638 votes and will become their second deputy women’s representative. Some officers regretted their vote, however, after Judy was ‘outed’ as transgender.
“It would’ve been fair if she was open about it,” one of the officers, who wished to remain anonymous, told tabloid Bild. “How am I supposed to talk to a woman who was born a man about my menstrual cramps or my menopause issues? She just can’t understand it.”
Judy was ‘outed’ as transgender earlier this month, after getting suspended over allegations of drugging and assaulting two male colleagues.
The three police officers apparently met at Berlin’s KitKat club, an establishment known for sex parties. Believing Judy was a biological woman, they accepted the invitation to their colleague’s apartment for a threesome. Once there, however, they claim to have been drugged and physically abused.
The two officers, who were not identified, reported “serious injuries” to their genitals and other body parts due to Judy’s alleged use of a penis pump and “other things.”
A search of Judy’s apartment on November 11 turned up “an illegal substance,” later identified as cocaine. According to the police report seen by Bild, the two victims denied having taken cocaine, but said they became “very intoxicated” and “unable to act” before they were assaulted.
Berlin police have declined to comment on the case, citing an ongoing investigation and privacy protection laws.
