Milwaukee cop who killed man facing trial for sexual assault
By: Associated Press//October 27, 2016
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee police officer whose fatal shooting of a black man sparked a weekend of violent unrest in the city has been ordered to stand trial on unrelated sex assault charges.
Dominique Heaggan-Brown appeared in Milwaukee County Circuit Court in handcuffs Wednesday as he waived his right to a preliminary hearing. The 24-year-old is facing five charges that accuse him of sexually assaulting two men and soliciting sex from two others. He’s jailed on $100,000 bond.
One alleged victim told police he watched television news coverage of the August violence while at a bar with Heaggan-Brown a day after the officer fatally shot Sylville Smith. The man also alleged Heaggan-Brown bragged about being able to do whatever he wanted without repercussions.
Heaggan-Brown’s attorney declined to comment on the case Thursday.
