Police report that York Police Officer Steven Cugini has been arrested for allegedly raping his girlfriend’s 13-month-old baby.
York City Police Commissioner Michael Muldrow said that Officer Steven Cugini, 28, of York, resigned from the York City Police force the day after the city began his termination process late last week.
York City Police officer Steven Cugini, 28, from York, has resigned from his position following allegations of raping and seriously injuring a toddler. This decision came after the city initiated his termination process, as confirmed by York City Police Commissioner Michael Muldrow.
Muldrow addressed the situation on social media, expressing deep distress over the matter. He acknowledged the challenges faced by law enforcement in identifying potential risks and misconduct among its members.
“We were at a loss, as no profession does seemingly more than police, to try and identify the proclivities, probabilities, and propensity for misuse, abuse and the evils that men do,” Muldrow stated. “And while it is a hard pill to swallow, we had to recognize that at the end of the day, you just never truly know what’s in the hearts and minds of people. My heart still breaks when things like this occur and I understand how everyone feels right now.”
Last week, State Police in Lykens arrested Cugini for the alleged physical assault, which resulted in severe injuries, including broken bones, to the toddler.
Cugini faces multiple felony charges, including rape of a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, and aggravated assault. He was released from York County Prison after posting bail on Thursday, April 18, according to court records.
