A grand jury has indicted Baltimore Police Officer Daniel Oxendine on six criminal counts stemming from an alleged rape in Harford County, including two counts each of first-degree and second-degree rape, according to court information reported Oct. 12. Oxendine, who was arrested in August, is suspended without pay, the Baltimore Police Department said. He remains in custody. A judge and prosecutors held a scheduling hearing last week after Oxendine obtained new counsel, but pretrial hearings and trial dates have not been announced. Court documents say the alleged assault happened June 2, after Oxendine responded to a domestic dispute in Baltimore. The woman told investigators that the officer later drove her and her son to their home in Edgewood. She alleged that, after dropping them off, he returned to her apartment, said he needed to check that it was safe and asked that her son leave. She told investigators the rape occurred inside the apartment. The woman reported the incident to detectives at Greater Baltimore Medical Center on June 3, according to the documents. Investigators said surveillance footage helped identify Oxendine. They also said DNA testing of samples from the woman and Oxendine contradicted his account that he had no physical contact with her beyond the initial domestic call, during which he said she grabbed his arm. He was arrested and charged after investigators received the test results. Oxendine has denied the allegations. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Harford County State’s Attorney Alison Healey said during his bond hearing that she would personally prosecute the case. Oxendine joined the Baltimore Police Department in 2017 and was assigned to its Northeast District patrol unit until June, the department said. The allegations raise questions about public trust when an officer is accused of abusing authority while on duty, though the criminal case has not been decided.
