No charges against Orlando police detective accused of sexual battery, prosecutor announces

ORLANDO, Fla. — A chief assistant state attorney says an Orlando police detective will not face charges over allegations he sexually battered a woman, Channel 9 investigative reporter Daralene Jones has learned.

The woman filed a report in December that said Detective Angel Burgos forced her to commit a sex act on him.

Investigators with Internal Affairs at the Orlando Police Department will now review this case to determine whether Burgos violated department policies and procedures.

Chief Assistant State Attorney Deborah Barra sent a letter to Orlando police Chief John Mina about not pressing charges against Burgos. Barra told the chief there is sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that sexual activity took place between Burgos and the woman, but Barra said she cannot prove the activity was coerced or forced.

The allegation stemmed from an assault case Burgos was assigned to investigate last August.

The woman told agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that Burgos continued contact once the investigation concluded, investigators said.

The woman told agents she gave Burgos a Christmas card at the Orlando Police Department. The woman told FDLE agents that he inquired about her well-being, due to a shooting near her residence.

The woman said Burgos showed up at her home in December in an unmarked patrol car. The woman told agents that for more than an hour, Burgos kissed her, touched her breasts and then asked for oral sex, which she refused. She said Burgos then forced her to give him oral sex by grabbing her head.

Burgos is 18-year veteran with the Orlando Police Department, earning about $86,500, as of last year.

He has been collecting that salary while working a desk job, with no law enforcement duties. He will continue that job until the internal investigation is complete, a police spokesperson said.
