San Diego in Southern California will pay $675,000 to a woman who claimed she was groped by a former police officer.
U-T San Diego reported the City Council approved the payment on Tuesday.
The woman claimed Anthony Arevalos touched her breasts after he stopped her on suspicion of drunken driving two years ago.
Arevalos was convicted last year of soliciting sexual favors from women he stopped in return for letting them go.
He’s serving a nearly nine-year sentence for sexual battery, bribery and other crimes.
