In a lawsuit filed by the family of Elizabeth Baggett, LAPD Officer David Roja is being accused of fondling Baggett’s breast along with “feeling her nipples without limitation.” In the suit, the family is going after Rojas for mishandling of human remains, invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and more.
Rojas allegedly showed the body camera footage to other people. Rojas allegedly touched the deceased woman’s breast while he was in the room alone with her after he and another officer responded to the home where she died.
The officer allegedly disabled his body camera, but the camera caught the incident after he turned it back on because they have a two-minute buffering period that captures everything happening before being activated.
The deceased woman's mother expressed, “I am infuriated that this man had so little respect for another human being, our Elizabeth. I personally wake in sweats from the nightmares that haunt me about the events of Elizabeth's death.”
