GEAUGA COUNTY, Ohio — The Geauga County Prosecutor's Office has released 911 audio of a call made by a father reporting Chester Township police officer Nicholas Iacampo's alleged assault on his daughter.
The 29-year-old Iacampo was arrested on August 6 by the Lake County Sheriff's Office and was charged with felony sexual battery against a teenager.
The call to Geauga County Dispatch started with the father stating he was standing outside of the Chester Township Police Department requesting that someone come out to talk to him.
"What is it regarding? I need to get some information before I can get an officer out there," the dispatcher responded.
"I don't want a certain officer. It's about a certain officer and my child," the father stated. When pressed, he added, "Nick. I do not want Nick."
The dispatcher then asked the father for specific information as to what was going on.
"He (Nick) is messing around with my 16-year-old daughter," the father replied. "He was just caught by my neighbor and our son. While he's on duty." The dispatcher asked in what way the officer was "messing around."
"They caught him making out with her, pinning her up against the police cruiser and forcing his tongue down here throat basically. I have countless text messages to corroborate it," the father added.
The dispatcher put the father on hold twice, before asking him to come to the Geauga County Sheriff's Office to fill out a report. An investigation was initiated and the Lake County Sheriff's Office was brought in as a "third-party" investigative unit because Iacampo's mother is Chardon Municipal Court Judge Terri Stupica.
Last week, Chester Township Police Chief Craig Young spoke to 3News' Bri Buckley about the incident involving Iacampo.
"It did happen on duty, I can confirm that, and that's in of itself something that obviously is extremely concerning to me," Young said.
Young says his small department of about 15 officers is focused on moving forward.
"We are and should be held to a higher standard. So when something like this happens, it jeopardizes that trust. It's incumbent on us to get that trust and that respect back and we're going to work very diligently to do that," Young said.
Iacampo is due in court on August 18 for a preliminary hearing.
