The Ohio police unit that gained recognition for its arrest of adult film actress Stormy Daniels — and later marred by allegations that a detective forced women to have sex with him in exchange for their freedom — was disbanded this week amid an “internal review” into their misconduct, a police official announced this week.

The Columbus Police Department’s 10-officer vice unit, which targets gambling, prostitution and drug crimes, will no longer operate, the department’s interim chief Tom Quinlan said in a video announcement posted to Twitter.

“Today I removed three officers from their vice assignments, and notified the seven remaining vice officers that I am abolishing their assignments,” Quinlan announced. “The vice unit is currently undergoing an internal review by the investigative deputy chief.”

“While today’s decision is not a reflection on all the officers assigned to vice, it has become clear that there’s a better method of addressing the community’s needs when it comes to the enforcement of prostitution, alcohol and gambling,” he added. “Soon I am meeting with the deputy chiefs to develop a new model for enforcement. Following this meeting, I will share the division’s plans with the community.”

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was busted in July 2018 at a club called Sirens by officers from the vice unit. She was hit with misdemeanor charges for inappropriately touching a female officer, who was undercover. The case was later dropped — with prosecutors citing local law that says only regular performers could be charged.

But Daniels, 40, sued the officers for $2 million under the claim that they targeted her because of her public statements against President Trump — regarding money to keep quiet about their alleged 2006 sexual affair during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The department released the results of that investigation March 8 — revealing that the officers had not pre-planned the bust or targeted Daniels for political reasons, but the arrests were in fact “improper,” the Washington Post reported.

And last week, the unit came under fire once again. Andrew K. Mitchell, 55, a veteran vice squad detective, was arrested by federal agents on charges that he forced two women to have sex with him in exchange for their freedom and coerced witnesses to lie as part of a “nightmarish breach of trust.”

Mitchell, who is now retired, pleaded not guilty to charges related to the two women at a Thursday hearing, according to the Washington Post.

But prosecutors argued that Mitchell should remain in custody, since witnesses to the alleged incidents fear that he could retaliate, according to the report.

Mitchell is set to testify before a grand jury April 4 about the August fatal shooting of Donna Castleberry, 23, the outlet reported. The detective and Castleberry were inside an unmarked police car when she allegedly stabbed him and he shot her.
