Darryl Mounger, an attorney for Rosales, denied Thursday that his client violated the law with a minor. ``It is my understanding that any allegations occurred when she was 18,'' Mounger said. ``I don't believe there is any criminal conduct that they can come up with.'' The claim was rejected by the city because it included incidents that occurred more than a year before it was filed, according to officials with the City Attorney's Office. A civil claim filed against the city is a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit. The woman is being represented by Carlsbad attorney Marc Duxbury, who said he is planning to file a lawsuit against the city in the next few weeks.

The other officers, including a captain and sergeant, are being investigated for allegations that they did not properly monitor the Explorer program, or in the case of some officers, did not report misconduct. Lt. Anthony Alba, a department spokesman, said he could not comment on the claim, because the investigation is still pending, but he said any allegation of officer misconduct is thoroughly scrutinized. ``If there are allegations made concerning department personnel, they will be investigated,'' Alba said. |
