Ex-cop sentenced to 14 years for molesting teen rape victim.

Former New Orleans police officer Rodney Vicknair has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl who was already a rape victim. Vicknair had offered to become the girl’s friend and mentor after escorting her to a hospital for a rape examination, but eventually began making sexual comments to her and persuaded her to send him explicit pictures. He then sexually assaulted her in his truck in 2020. Vicknair pleaded guilty to deprivation of rights under color of law and was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
