Prince George’s County Police Officer Ryan Macklin was charged with rape after a woman was attacked during a traffic stop last week. Macklin is listed as a two-time patrol officer of the month at the department’s website.
During the traffic stop, Macklin reportedly forced the woman to perform a sex act while they were sitting in her car in a nearby parking lot.
Police say Macklin was “on-duty, in uniform, and driving a marked police cruiser at the time.”
Investigators are not sure why Macklin targeted this woman, but believe there may be other victims.
