An East Point, Georgia police officer is under investigation after allegedly sexual assaulting a teenager. And now it is has been discovered that three other sexual misconduct or inappropriate touching allegations have been made against him since 2011.

Last week, Sgt. Richard Gooddine was fired while the Georgia Bureau of Investigation looks into the latest charges made against him.

Local Channel 2 investigative reporter Nicole Carr met with Gooddine at police headquarters right after he was terminated and he insisted he was innocent of any wrong doing in the case involving a 15-year-old girl.

But both the alleged victim’s mother and attorney, insist Gooddine assaulted the girl while he was still on duty and also stalked her while she was at the hospital.

When the news station did some digging in the officer’s personnel find they uncovered that in 2016 a 60 years old arrestee complained to police that Gooddine had “brushed against her breast” while she was handcuffed for driving under a suspended license.

Then in 2017, another women arrested for shoplifting in Walmart claimed Gooddine pulled her pants back while she was in the patrol car and proceeded to fondle her. According to the file, the woman reported the incident to Gooddine’s partner, who was instructed by a superior not to respond to the woman, in order to avoid a messy investigation.

Gooddine passed a polygraph by answering “no” to four questions regarding the allegations, and both internal affairs investigations were deemed “not sustained.”

The East Point Police Department has declined to comment on Gooddine amid the latest GBI investigation involving a minor.
