NEW: 3 women said a Hialeah cop abused them. Prosecutors never spoke to them — and dropped the case. hrld.us/2KG0Sbl
Last week, we reported that four women and girls had accused Hialeah Sgt. Jesús “Jesse” Menocal Jr., a decorated patrol officer and SWAT team member, of sexual abuse.

He faced almost no punishment and was given a raise.

One day after our investigation, Hialeah's police chief defended his handling of the case at a press conference.

"I want the public to know: Do not worry. We don't cover up for officers."

Our investigation was expensive and time-consuming to produce, requiring reporters, editors and others across the newsroom — as well as two attorneys.
