“The $795,000 is the largest payment the city has made in the flurry of a dozen lawsuits filed by women who said they were harassed or assaulted by Arevalos, a former traffic officer with the department. He was convicted of sexual battery and other charges and in February 2012 was sentenced to almost nine years in state prison. The city has paid out $2.3 million in claims stemming from Arevalos’ misconduct. One more case is still pending in federal court, that of a woman whose complaint that Arevalos sexually battered her in the bathroom of a convenience store after her arrest for drunken driving triggered the criminal case against him.”
