LAPD Chief Michel Moore said he personally apologized for the leak of a crime victim’s name and confidential information, that was allegedly part of a scheme to conceal a sexual assault accusation made against former CBS network president Les Moonves.
The revelations became public when the New York state Attorney General announced that it had reached a legal settlement with Moonves and CBS, over allegations the cover-up of the Los Angeles sexual assault accusation amounted to an insider trading violation, as concealing the information from investors and the public might have shielded CBS's stock price and Moonves' reputation.
Palka retired in March, 2021 at the rank of commander, and when reached by phone last week denied knowledge of the investigation or that he had been identified as the leaker. On Tuesday the Police Commission asked for a report on whether the Department was aware of officers' off-duty employment that could represent potential conflicts of interests with the subjects of criminal investigations.
Many LAPD officers work off-duty security jobs for celebrities and other influential individuals, as officers are permitted to carry their concealed guns and act as armed protection.
