A former Kokomo police officer is headed to federal prison for 40 years.
Thirty-three-year-old Sinmi Asomuyide was sentenced Thursday for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl while on duty in 2024.
Prosecutors say he took the runaway into custody, turned off his body camera, then later handcuffed her in his squad car and drove her to a warehouse parking lot.
A jury also convicted him of witness tampering and destroying records.
U.S. Attorney Tom Wheeler says no one can use the badge as a shield from accountability.
