Adam Skweres, Pittsburgh Police Officer, Allegedly Solicited Sex From Women In Legal Trouble (VIDEO)

Law authorities in Pittsburgh are searching for more possible victims of a police officer arrested Thursday on allegations he offered to help a number of women and their acquaintances out of legal binds in exchange for sexual favors, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports.

Officer Adam Skweres, 34, remains in jail this morning on charges of bribery, coercion, official oppression, indecent assault and other crimes stemming from three alleged incidents, the earliest of which dates back to 2008. Skweres' bail has been set at $300,000.

According to the Post-Gazette, in exchange for sexual services, Skweres allegedly offered the women favors such as writing positive letters of recommendation to family services organizations, throwing out parking tickets, and failing to cite involvement in traffic accidents.

Shortly after his arrest Thursday, a fourth woman told federal investigators that Skweres sexually assaulted her, an accusation that has led prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against him.

Skweres, an officer of five years who earned $57,000 last year, remains on the force but has been suspended without pay, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

In another criminal complaint, Sweres was quoted as telling the woman that "It doesn’t have to be sex. We can do other things," CBS Pittsburgh reported.

He added, "If you go to jail, you know what they are going to do to you there. It's not going to be as bad as what I do to you."

Authorities are continuing to investigate the case and urge any woman who may have been targeted by Skweres to call police or the Office of Municipal Investigations at 412-255-2804.

In addition, anyone with information about the case can Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Sex Assault Unit at [phone] or the Office of Municipal Investigations.

The moral of the lesson? Officer Skweres will always be willing to see you get over your humps in the law assuming you service his humps. Don’t you wish you had a badge that allowed you to get away with this type of nonsense…unless of course you already do.
