Completely nude strip search of female
forcefully conducted by male police officers
in Stark County Ohio.
Near the beginning of the video you can see the black male officer helping to strip Hope Steffey’s panties off of her while the white male officer holds her down. The woman’s bra and panties are removed along with all her clothing, exposing her bare naked breasts, ass, and vagina in front of the male officers, while they video tape. She is eventually completely stripped and left naked and handcuffed on the floor.
Hope called 911 for help after she was assaulted by another woman. However, instead of helping Hope, the police arrested her for “disorderly conduct,” throwing her to the ground and chipping her tooth.
So far, five women have come forward with similar strip search experiences at this Ohio jail.
The officer ran a check on Ms. Steffey´s license and found no infractions, but continued to treat her as though she were the perpetrator of a crime, instead of the victim.
Although Ms. Steffey´s cousin repeatedly reminded the officer that Steffey was the victim and had been knocked unconscious in the previous assault, Officer Gurlea handcuffed Steffey and put her into the back of his patrol car, refusing her medical care.
Hope Steffey was then taken to the county jail and forcibly strip-searched by 6 to 7 male and female deputies, despite Stark County´s own policy which states that a strip search must be conducted by a same sex officer. She was left in a cell for 6 hours with no clothing or even a blanket and eventually wrapped herself in toilet tissue for warmth and modesty. She was not allowed a phone call or medical attention and when she was later taken to booking, she was given only a small weighted vest to cover her nudity. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
