HOUSTON --
A federal jury has sided with the city of Houston in a lawsuit over a woman's alleged rape by an officer while in custody. Barbara Russell sued the city over an incident in 2010. Russell claimed then-officer James Rodriguez arrested her, then raped her in his squad car before taking her to jail.
Rodriguez pleaded guilty to improper sex acts with a person in custody and received probation.
