BATON ROUGE - The Baton Rouge Police Department will hold a news conference to discuss the strip search of a 16-year-old that ultimately led to a $35,000 lawsuit settlement with the city. The briefing is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
The encounter happened in January 2020, though attorneys for two people involved in the incident shared video and details of the settlement with media outlets in Baton Rouge and nationwide.
Attorneys said the officers stripped two people, including the teenager, on a public street and groped them as part of a frisk following a traffic stop.
