California police sex misconduct case fizzling in court

FILE – In this Sept. 30, 2016, file photo, then Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputy Ricardo Perez waits for an arraignment hearing to begin in court at the Hayward Hall of Justice in Hayward, Calif. Charges have been dropped against Perez and a police officer in a California sex abuse case involving the teenage daughter of an Oakland police dispatcher.
