The Manteno police officer accused of sexually assaulting a drunk woman is denying the allegations and is asking a federal judge to toss out the woman's lawsuit.
The officer, however, admits to giving the woman a ride back and forth between a Manteno gas station and the police station and then returning her car keys, according to court documents filed last week.
No criminal charges have been filed against the officer, Chadd Gagnon, or his partner, Jason Forbes.
In a lawsuit filed in May, Sarah Pyles, then a Joliet resident, alleges she performed oral sex on Gagnon, who then assaulted her outside the police station while Forbes watched. She had stopped at a gas station one night in August 2011; and suspecting she was too drunk to continue driving, called a friend to pick her up.
After a gas station attendant called police, the officers took Pyles' keys and brought her to the station to administer a Breathalyzer test.
