Loveland officer accused of sexual assault resigns, documents say
The Loveland Police Department has launched a formal investigation after one of its officers was accused of sexual assault, documents say.
The officer, Anthony Pecord, has resigned, The Enquirer learned after obtaining a letter from Chief Dennis Sean Rahe. The Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office and Hamilton County Sheriff's Office are involved, though no charges were filed as of Friday afternoon.
Pecord was still listed on the department's website Friday afternoon as having come to the department in 2009 and served as an evidence technician and field training officer.
The city released a statement Friday stating it was aware of allegations surrounding the officer's "off-duty conduct," but city and county officials refused to elaborate. References to Pecord's sexual assault allegation were included in his personnel file.
