Philadelphia police are investigating a massage parlor sexual assault involving one of their own.

Police tell CBS3 that three months ago, an officer was one of three men in a massage parlor waiting room when a woman inside claimed she was sexually assaulted.

As the investigation into this encounter got underway, the officer in question was reassigned to desk duty at police headquarters where he spent the last three months.

Sources then tell CBS3 that sometime late Thursday or early Friday, that same officer went to a different massage parlor on the 300 block on north 13th Street in Chinatown. The officer, off-duty at the time, showed a woman in the establishment his badge and handcuffs before demanding sexual acts.

Police believe there was sexual contact during the latest encounter and crime scene investigators were able to recover DNA samples.

This case remains under investigation and the officer in question has not been formally charged.
