  • Former LAPD Cmdr. Cory Palka will not face criminal charges for alerting CBS about a rape allegation against ex-CEO Les Moonves, according to documents obtained by The Times. Complaints were filed by two LAPD detectives, with one alleging that the case was compromised by the department's former chief.
  • This development raises concerns about the integrity of the LAPD and its handling of sensitive cases, particularly those involving high-profile individuals. The lack of charges against Palka may undermine public trust in law enforcement's accountability and transparency.
