Ex-Bensalem Cop Blames Alleged Victim in Sex Case

SVU cop assaulted the woman after a night of drinking, prosecutors say

The former head of the Bensalem Police Department's special victims unit says the woman accusing him of a sexual assault was actually the aggressor.

Former Bensalem police Sgt. Michael Marren told a Bucks County jury on Thursday that the alleged victim kissed him then reached down his pants at the township's rescue squad headquarters in March.

Marren, a part-time medic, says he rebuffed woman's advances.

Prosecutors say Marren assaulted the woman after a night of drinking to mourn the death of another medic. He was fired from the police department after his arrest.

Closing arguments are set for Friday.
