Jasmine Abuslin, City of Oakland Settle Sex Scandal Case for Almost $1 Million
The Oakland police department is being sued for $66 million on behalf of a teenage prostitute at the center of a massive sex scandal.
Attorney’s for Jasmine Abuslin, formerly known as Celeste Guap, took the first steps in bringing the lawsuit against the department on Friday.
Absulin claims to have had sex with about 30 law enforcement officials throughout the San Francisco Bay Area over the last two years – during some which she was a minor.

The suit was filed in conjunction with the criminal case brought by Alameda County District Attorney’s Office in a case of sexual misconduct involving Abuslin.
The multi-million dollar suit is considered the ‘first step’ in bringing forth a lawsuit and the city has 45 days to respond, according the NBC Bay Area.
The lawsuit claims that Oakland Police Department officers, ‘either directly engaged in, stood by with a blind eye, or acted to cover up this modern-day slavery of (Jasmine).
‘These acts constitute unlawful forced labor, trafficking into servitude and sex trafficking of a child by force, fraud and coercion and have caused (Jasmine) to suffer unimaginable abuse, paid, and suffering that she and her family will endure for the rest of her life.’

Meanwhile, the first formal charges were filed on Friday against retired officers Dan Black and Leroy Johnson.
Black is charged with multiple counts, including engaging in prostitution, lewd public behavior and giving alcohol to a minor, NBC Bay Area reported.
Court documents show last April, Black picked Absulin up in a motor home and took her out to eat.
The documents show Black told Absulin ‘just to be clear, I’m not paying you, but I will buy you dinner’.
The two later engaged in oral copulation and sex in the motor home, the document states.
Johnson is facing charges for failing to report that his colleagues were engaging in sex with a prostitute who was also a minor.
Absulin told Johnson over social media that she engaged in sex with officers.

City councilman Noel Galleo (pictured) admitted officials knew these lawsuits and charges were coming
‘Tell me you were an adult,’ Johnson wrote to Absulin.
‘I’d be lying,’ Absulin responded.
Attorney’s believe social media and Absulin’s age will play critical roles in the lawsuit and criminal charges.
City leaders admitted to NBC Bay Area they knew these lawsuits and charges were coming.
‘All I can think about is there will be other women that are going to come forth with similar stories or actions claiming lawsuits,’ city councilman Noel Galleo said.
