Guess the sentence for a cop who forced a woman to perform oral sex

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

One year! What?!?

A former Chicago police officer who forced a woman to engage in a sex act in his squad car in 2019 was sentenced to a year in federal prison, prosecutors said Monday.

James Sajdak, 65, pleaded guilty in November to one count of deprivation of civil rights, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois said in a statement.

He was sentenced Friday to the maximum allowed for the misdemeanor charge.

On March 5, 2019, Sajdak flashed the lights of his police vehicle at a woman walking on the street and said something like “You can get in the front seat or you can get in the back,” which he meant to be a threat of arrest, Sajdak admitted in a plea agreement. The woman got in the front seat.

Sajdak locked the doors, drove to an abandoned lot and forced her to do a sex act, the plea agreement said.

Sajdak, a police officer since 1989, retired after the incident. The victim sued him and the city, and the case was settled, according to records and his defense attorneys. He was federally indicted in 2022.

Sajdak “abused the power and responsibility with which he had been entrusted,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo.

SMH. I guess it would be too much to ask for some prison justice...

She was a tranny; he offered to pay; he's sorry.


Former Chicago police sergeant James B. Sajdak pleaded guilty on Monday to a misdemeanor civil rights violation related to the 2019 sexual assault of a transgender woman, Tyshee Featherstone.

This latest development is a significant shift from the initial charges that could have led to a life sentence for Sajdak, as reported by theChicago Sun-Timesand theChicago Tribune.

The 65-year-old Sajdak, who served 29 years with the Chicago Police Department, faced the possibility of life in federal prison under a felony count. However, the plea agreement changed this to a misdemeanor count of deprivation of rights under color of law.

The charge carries a potential sentence of up to one year in federal prison, with sentencing scheduled for February 23 by U.S. District Judge John J. Tharp Jr.

The Chicago Sun-Times detailed the incident on March 5, 2019. Sajdak allegedly approached Featherstone near Kolmar and Fifth avenues in Austin, demanding she enter his squad car. After the initial refusal, he used his authority to force her into the vehicle, drove to a secluded lot, turned off his police radio and laptop, and coerced her to perform a sex act. He then attempted to give her cash.

The victim’s complaint led to a federal civil rights lawsuit, settled in April 2020, though the settlement terms have not been disclosed. Featherstone was awarded $100,000 by the city in a separate settlement, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.

Sajdak’s attorney, Tim Grace, said his client acknowledged his mistakes and was eager to move past this incident. The government’s decision to agree to a plea deal was commended by Grace, who looks forward to the sentencing.

The Chicago Sun-Times report also reveals a troubled history for Sajdak within the police department. He faced numerous citizen complaints throughout his career, with 44 complaints filed against him. Of these, one was sustained in 1997 involving the sale or possession of illegal drugs, resulting in a 30-day suspension. Furthermore, Sajdak settled a lawsuit in 2016 accusing him of harassment in a separate incident

Another case of someone being allowed to remain in law enforcement when they're clearly not made for law enforcement.

 

[GOHOX69]

I'm surprised he got a year.

Selling drugs and he gets a 30 day suspension.

I bet this asshole still has his pension.

Tip for the tip?

Stupid officer. Why risk this when the OP's mom does house calls to Chicago.

 

[SeaPA]

I was gonna guess "two week suspension (with pay)"

 

[goldmom]

I would vote for him having to s**k and then swallow ten inmates in front of everyone in the prison yard.
Sorry to be so crude but that’s some inexcusable garbage.

Sue Ryder charity shop worker Samantha Norris, 56, was acquitted by a jury at Southampton Crown Court of the two charges of engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child which were alleged to have taken place on July 27, 2023.

The defendant was also cleared earlier in the trial of two further charges of engaging in sexual activity and two of indecent exposure. The prosecution had claimed that the defendant, who is in the process of gender transitioning, had “exposed her penis” deliberately to the two youngsters through the window of her flat.

But Norris, Euston Grove, Ringwood, told the court that she was a naturist who was “habitually naked” in her own home and the children could only have seen her naked if they had been “spying” on her. She also said that she had been the victim of abuse from youngsters in the town and she felt these girls had been “taunting” her.

Nope, it does involve the word "rape" though, because the cop raped her.

He raped a man. Rape is rape and is deplorable. He raped him.

Taking pensions and depositing those funds in the victim restitution program is the best way to stop this type of conduct.

Yeah, "A woman is anyone who identifies as a woman."

And, of course, @noleclone2 with his "who dress and act as women."

How do women dress and act, @noleclone2? You don't dare answer, do you, daisy?

How is that only one year? Isn't forcing someone to perform oral sex in and of itself a 10 to 15 year sentence?

Then you have the fact that he abused his power as a police officer to get it.

This should have been a life sentence.

IMO if someone is an enforcer of the law, they should receive max punishment if they break it.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Ehh for me it's using their job to help them break the law which means there should be strong punishments added to it. They have not only victimized the victim, but they have victimized society by decreasing trust in law enforcement.

There must be someone I have on ignore that was defending the rapist cop.

 

[QChawks]

I think I've see this scene before

 

[hawkeyeandy]

This one's on the prosecutor. Who offers a plea deal from felony life in prison for rape to misdemeanor civil rights violation? That's unconscionable.
