Philly cop accused of attempted sex assault

A veteran Philadelphia police officer was charged earlier today with allegedly trying to get a female prisoner to perform oral sex on him, police officials said.

Early this morning, another cop spotted Officer Malaika T. Mebane, 38, standing in a jail cell with a female prisoner inside the 35th District's headquarters, at Broad and Champlost streets, authorities said. The officer reported the situation to a supervisor, who later contacted Internal Affairs investigators.

The cell was held as a possible crime scene. Police said the prisoner later told investigators that Mebane, a 17-year veteran, had asked her to perform oral sex on him. Mebane was charged with attempted sexual assault and related offenses. Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey suspended Mebane for 30 days with the intent to dismiss.

Gonna lose your pension and career for oral? If you need it that bad and cant get it easily, for gods sakes go and get a professional and keep your job. Wow, 17 years on the force down the drain.

yep, lost pension and career, and he has his pic in the papers for all to see... friends, former classmates, family, elderly relatives... all of whom will involuntarily have a mental image of what he did... it's almost as if he wanted to get caught, doing that on the job.

Looks like a lot of friends from North and West Philly have lost a collegue to overlooks all their illegal activities. Where's Shannon from Temple to report on this. She was probably doing him big time.

I agree with mensaman, Ramsey acted too harshly, 30 days without pay and some sensitivity training. We still have yet to hear from the FOP

I was viewing these comments and, my God, do you idiots really believe politcal choices have ANYTHING to do with his decisions? It's shows your level ignorance and stupidity. Not to mention, the majority of you have already convicted him before he's ever been tried. You have NO idea what prompted the accusation, or whether or not it's even true. Get the ENTIRE facts before you convict someone. One day, it could be you accused of raping a person and how would you feel if the worrld convicted you before your trial?
