2 Massachusetts officers cleared on charges of raping woman
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two Massachusetts police officers have been acquitted of charges that they raped the same woman.
Springfield officers Joshua Figueroa and Derrick Gentry-Mitchell were found not guilty by a judge Thursday in a jury-waived trial in Hampden Superior Court.
The woman said she had been raped by the men in Gentry-Mitchell's home in March 2017.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Both officers testified in their own defense to say the encounters had been consensual.
Figueroa said the woman initiated contact and he had sex with her in the basement. Gentry-Mitchell testified he had sex with the woman in his room after Figueroa left.
Figueroa's attorney said his client sent the woman a text saying, "Let's do it again," and the woman replied, "Yes, definitely."
