brad: yeah. well, in both of the cases. that is one of the things they are talking about today. the indictments happened this afternoon. we are just getting the full information here at police headquarters. but this is what we can tell you. in one of the cases an officer assigned to antiprostitution squad is accused of using the services of the prostitute in the course of his working hours. additionally he is accused of multiple occasions telling prostitutes the squad was working in the area so the prostitute could avoid arrest. the other is a assault, simple brutaliation. that he approached a homeless woman and smacked her in the face. in both cases the reports were made by fellow officers. >> i think this shows that because you had two officers who knew it was wrong and reported it. they could have looked the other way, they did not. they did the right thing. that is important for us to make sure people understand that. brad: so that is a spokesperson for the prince george's county states attorney wanting the community to understand they are, in fact, policing the officers. when will tell you more about the allegations and also have the response from the police department, itself. in palmer park, brad bell, abc7 news. michelle: breaking right now, d.c. health officials confirm two pregnant women contracted cd the zika virus that causes microcephaly. sam ford has breaking details. sam in sam: the director of the -- sam?
