Woman at center of Bay Area police sex crimes scandal will return to California to testify against cops

The teenage woman whose allegations of sexual abuse at the hands of several police officers rocked the Bay Area law enforcement community will return to California to testify against them, her attorney said Wednesday. Jasmine Abuslin, 19, of Richmond, was freed from the Martin County Jail in Florida on Wednesday morning after accepting a plea deal to settle allegations that she bit a security guard during a violent clash at a drug rehabilitation facility last month. Pamela Price, an Oakland civil rights attorney who is representing Abuslin, said Abuslin now plans to return home where she will serve as the key witness in the prosecution of at least seven current and former East Bay law enforcement officers. "We're going home as soon as we can," Price said at a news conference in Stuart, Fla. Abuslin, who has previously used the pseudonym Celeste Guap, claimed during a television news interview earlier this year that she had sex with at least a dozen Oakland police officers, and that some of the encounters occurred while she was underage. She also accused officers of leaking information to her about planned prostitution raids in exchange for sex.
