A Miami-Dade Police lieutenant and former high-ranking union member allegedly forced his way into a woman's hotel room before he sexually battered her, according to a police report released Monday.
Lt. John Anthony Jenkins, 50, turned himself in Friday to face sexual battery charges in the incident that allegedly took place last month in Palm Beach Gardens.
Jenkins' attorney said he looks forward to have a chance in court to "clear his name and reputation," the Miami Herald reported.
