It’s important to remember that these are just accusations at this point, and Greenwood is considered innocent until proven guilty.
Officer William Greenwood, age 43, was indicted today on 10 counts of criminal sexual assault and six counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to Cook County state’s attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton. He will be arraigned August 10, 2009. He was arrested June 10, 2009 for allegedly assaulting a teenage relative repeatedly. He is a U.S. Army veteran and former Mount Vernon police officer. The Chicago Police Department has relieved Officer Greenwood of his police powers. The victim told a friend of the abuse on Facebook, and her friend encouraged her to report the abuse. The girl later told her mother, who reported it to police.
