A Chino Police Department sergeant was arrested Thursday, March 7, on suspicion of soliciting a minor for sex and unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor in Redlands.

Jason Bemowski, 38, was arrested at the Chino Police Department around 7:10 a.m. after police said he had sex with a 16-year-old girl at his residence in Redlands. Roseville is just northeast of Sacramento and police were conducting a human trafficking investigation.

Roseville police said in a release that the investigation was a collaborative effort between police departments in Roseville and Redlands.

Another man, Anthony Harrison, 24, was arrested on suspicion of human trafficking in connection with the case and was booked into a jail in Placer County in lieu of $1 million bail.

Bemowski was released from jail on bail and placed on administrative leave by the Chino Police Department.

“This is a sad day for our department,” said Chino Police Chief Karen Comstock in a statement. “These allegations are very serious, and if they are determined to be true, I want to assure the public and members of our department that I will not tolerate this conduct.”

In addition to being a sergeant and working for the Chino Police Department for 16 years, Bemowski ran for Norco City Council in 2015.
