An Atlanta police officer charged last month with raping a neighbor in Clayton County got in trouble in 2005 for assaulting a female acquaintance at her apartment while off duty, police documents show.
Officer Edward L. Rabb, 27, got suspended for five days and received a written reprimand for his behavior in the January 2005 incident, according to police documents obtained through a
Rabb didn't deny the allegations, but told police officials that he couldn't remember. That night, he said, he "had several drinks" and "blanked out," police documents show.
"I am glad that nobody got hurt," Rabb wrote in a police report. "I am embarrassed by the whole situation."
An internal investigation revealed that Rabb had been drinking and watching a football game at another police officer's home.
Afterward, he went to the apartment of a female acquaintance and entered the apartment without permission while she was entertaining a male friend, police reports show.
He asked her if she was having sex with his cousin, and pushed her against a wall twice after she said she wasn't, documents show.
The woman hit her head, but was not injured. She did not want to pursue criminal charges against him, documents show.
Rabb had met the young woman months earlier when he pulled her over while on duty, documents show.
A five-year veteran assigned to the Red Dog narcotics unit, he has been put on paid leave since his arrest in late April on charges that he raped and sodomized a female neighbor who went to his house to use his shower, authorities said.
Rabb acknowledged to police that he and the woman had sex on April 23 but said it was consensual, Owens said. The neighbor, a 30-year-old woman, told police Rabb made sexual advances to her and used force when she objected.
Rabb was still being held Tuesday in a Clayton County jail, according to jail logs.
