Federal Air Marshal charged with raping an escort

--------

A federal air marshal has been charged with raping a female escort at gunpoint in a Seattle airport hotel while wearing his badge, the Seattle Times reported.

A federal air marshal has been charged with raping a female escort at gunpoint in a Seattle airport hotel while wearing his badge, the Seattle Times reported.

Lecheton "Omar" Settles is being held on $250,000 bail on a charge of first-degree rape, accused of using his position as a law enforcement officer to coerce the escort — and of using his government-issued firearm to threaten her, the paper reported.

Settles, 30, was in town from Herndon, Va., on official business but called an escort service to his Marriot Hotel room Friday, initially agreeing to pay the woman $180 to perform a dance in lingerie, according to court documents accessed by the Times.

But when the woman emerged from the the Sea Tac hotel's bathroom, she found Settles naked, wearing only his badge and brandishing his gun, according to the newspaper. Settles claimed to be a U.S. Marshal and told the woman she had to do whatever he ordered.

The court documents state that Settles placed the handgun on the bed while he raped the woman and demanded the return of his $180, placing her in handcuffs and pretending to call his supervisor after the rape, the Times reported.

Settles, who is scheduled to be arraigned April 28, has been fired by the TSA, a spokesman told the paper.

I worked at the Herndon site supporting these guys. That name sounds familiar. They also had a supervisor getting his "trailor hitch polished" by a female in his squad. The worst thing about it was that the whole thing was caught on video by the parking lot security cameras. They're both gone. He'd also approached one of my intel analysts. She declined and called the investigators.

Most FAMs are pretty good guys, but they have blisterheads that do this type of mess from time to time.

First of all, I always have my gun with me when I am naked! (all other times, too)
Secondly, IF he was naked, how the hell was he "wearing" his badge? Ouch...
Thirdly... $180 for a "lingerie dance" - wow, times surely have changed.

Zonie's point is well taken,where was he wearing his badge if he was naked?

Neck chain. Standard plain clothes issue. In this case..no clothes. She didn't say if he had the hat on.

They deserve one another.

I wonder if this fine upstanding poor lady-victim would have complained had the idiot NOT taken his money back.

Maybe they could have used him on one of those all nude flights. 'Course, it's kind of hard to buckle up when you have your head up your a$$.

You'd be shocked at what inflation has done to prices in the escort business.

I wonder what "they" charge in the Siboney Bar in Colon, RP these days? It used to be a hell of a lot less than $180 for a hell of a lot more than a "lingerie dance" - whatever that is.

I do not agree. No one deserves to be raped under any circumstances.

My $0.02.

Correct. Assuming the rape took place.

I take it you have a problem with this woman. Does her choice of profession not please you?

Convicted already, by an internet jury.

Anyone wonder if the initial report is correct and all of the facts are in?

Good thing it wasn't a stripper, sexually assaulted by a lacrosse team.
