NEW BRITAIN The Bridgeport Police Department must make public recorded and written statements of witnesses in a false rape case, a Superior Court judge has ruled.
But Judge Daniel Klau said the state Freedom of Information Commission must still decide whether a video of the female defendant allegedly having sex with two men in a bathroom violates the laws against voyeurism before deciding whether to release it.
