    PHOENIX -- A Phoenix police officer is being investigated in the sexual assaults of three women in the past six months.

    Phoenix police Officer Ricardo Orosco has not been charged with any crime, but he was photographed and fingerprinted by Chandler police on Tuesday. Chandler police said their investigation is being handed over to the county attorney's office.

    Orosco is the subject of two criminal investigations involving both the Chandler and Phoenix police departments.

    Phoenix police wouldn't comment on Chandler's investigation, but they did say Orosco was put on paid leave last week in a separate case out of the South Mountain precinct.

    "We did that because of an incident between him and another employee, a female civilian employee that works for the Police Department, and we have allegations of harassment that he is engaged in with this particular female," Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump said.

    In 2010, Orosco was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend at his Phoenix condo after she refused to have sex with him. The county attorney's office decided not to prosecute. After an internal investigation, Orosco was suspended for three days without pay.

    CHANDLER, AZ (CBS5) - A Phoenix police officer accused in multiple sexual assault cases has resigned.

    Officer accused of roughing up girlfriend
    Phoenix police said Ricardo Orosco resigned Tuesday during a hearing with the department.

    Orosco is under criminal investigation, accused of sexually assaulting at least two women in Chandler.

    A 22-year-old victim in that case told investigators that after she refused to have sex with Orosco, he grabbed her throat and hit her in the face.

    Phoenix police Sgt. Trent Crump told CBS 5 News earlier this month that Orosco was on paid administrative leave, but the discipline had nothing to do with the cases in Chandler.

    Phoenix police are also reportedly looking into claims against Orosco by women civilian employees.
