Neal, 40, followed the woman for blocks early Friday morning before he pulled her over, according to an arrest affidavit. He allegedly told the woman her car was reported stolen, persisting even after she showed him documentation.
Neal groped the woman during a pat down, even though she asked for a female officer, authorities said.
He then handcuffed the woman, directed her to the back of his squad car and raped her, authorities said.
“There is no such thing as consensual sex on duty,” McManus told the Express-News.
Another woman claimed Neal attacked her a few years ago but later decided not to cooperate with investigators, McManus told the paper.
“There is no such thing as consensual sex on duty,” McManus told the Express-News. “I feel silly even saying that we won't tolerate it. Of course we won't tolerate it. There is no gray area. This is a criminal offense.”
The chief told the paper Neal would have known the camera at the back of his car wasn't working.
McManus said he makes a point of explaining policies to SAPD recruits on the first and last day of training, hammering home the importance of regulations including a ban on sex while on duty.
“There is no such thing a consensual sex on duty,” he said. “I feel silly even saying that we won't tolerate it. Of course we won't tolerate it. There is no gray area. This is a criminal offense.”
McManus said he wants anyone who may have experienced a similar situation to call SAPD and file a report.

What are you talking about? This man is everything I've come to expect from a police officer.
The accusations of sexual misconduct are the third against Neal, the police chief told the Express-News.

Yet he was still on the job? Such accusations should be taken more seriously, this is almost becoming an epidemic these days.

Should that make me hate and consider all bloggers to be scum ..and those who aren't, equally scummy for tolerating those who are? Kinda silly when put that way....for how can I possibly be responsible or painted by the actions of a couple million other people who happen to do the same thing I do?

When they do...I'd MUCH MUCH rather be the worst kind of criminal, going into prison ...than any kind of cop. The bad cops would do better to quit before they end there.

The woman reported the alleged attack to police later the same day, and Neal was arrested on Saturday, police said. He was released on $20,000 bail.

Most police officers are good people, they are selected to fight crime. They will use force to aprehend someone if necessary, that is good.

Another woman claimed Neal attacked her a few years ago but later decided not to cooperate with investigators, McManus told the paper.
Neal was suspended for three days in September for dating an 18-year-old member of the San Antonio Police Explorers, a program for young people interested in a career in law enforcement, the Express-News reported.
