   Prosecutors filed a felony charge Thursday against a Los Angeles   
   police officer accused of inappropriately touching the breasts   
   of a dead woman while investigating her overdose earlier this   
   year, officials said.   
      
   Los Angeles Police Department Officer II David Rene Rojas, 27,   
   described as a 4-year veteran of the department, faces a count   
   of having sexual contact with human remains, according to the   
   Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and county booking   
   records.   
      
   The alleged crime, which LAPD Chief Michel Moore described as   
   "disgusting," took place on Oct. 20 when Rojas and his partner   
   responded to the fatal overdose of a woman, officials said.   
      
   "While he was alone in the room, the defendant allegedly touched   
   the woman's breasts," DA's office spokesman Greg Risling said in   
   a written statement.   
      
   The misconduct was discovered when Rojas' body camera footage   
   was reviewed on Nov. 20, LAPD officials said.   
      
   "Investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department's Internal   
   Affairs Criminal Investigations Division worked diligently to   
   complete their investigation, which was presented to the   
   district attorney's office on Dec. 10," police said in a written   
   statement.   
      
   The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union representing   
   LAPD officers, said it will not be assisting in Rojas' defense.   
      
   "We hope that District Attorney Jackie Lacey charging Mr. Rojas   
   for his vile alleged crime will bring some solace to the   
   deceased woman's family during their time of grieving," the   
   LAPPL Board of Directors said in a statement issued Thursday   
   afternoon. "The Los Angeles Police Protective League will not   
   defend Mr. Rojas during his criminal proceedings, and his   
   alleged behavior is abhorrent and an affront to every law   
   enforcement professional working for the LAPD."   
      
   Rojas was arrested shortly before noon and released from jail   
   Thursday afternoon after posting $20,000 bail, officials said.   
   His arraignment hearing was yet to be scheduled.   
      
   If convicted as charged, Rojas could face up to three years in   
   state prison.
