Dispatcher Resigns After Sex Allegations

A Lebanon (Ohio) police dispatcher has resigned after being accused of performing oral sex on her boyfriend, who was visting the comm center with a friend. Rebecca Hughes voluntarily resigned her job, and police say no charges have been filed against her. She is a 7-year veteran of the agency. According to police, in early March Hughes invited her boyfriend to the comm center during the night shift, accompanied by a male friend. At some point, the friend went outside in the police station hallway, police said, and Hughes then had sex with her boyfriend. During the encounter, a sergeant walked into the comm center. In a taped interrogation, Hughes later denied that sex actually occurred. “As soon as the radio traffic stops, I go down real quick to make it look like I was giving David (oral sex), which I wasn’t. I will swear to you I wasn’t,” she said during the interview. City attorney Mark Yurick said, “Luckily it doesn’t seem that any calls were missed. It certainly had the potential to distract her from dispatching duties.” In an understatement, Yurick said no 911 calls were missed. “It was not a particularly eventful evening.” Read the full story here.
