WASHINGTON — An unnamed member of the D.C. Police Union is facing allegations of "unwanted sexual contact." 

According to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the unidentified member is currently under investigation and has been placed in a non-contact status, which means the member's police powers have been revoked. 

Very little is known about the allegation or even the union member who faces them. A police report shows the offense was reported on just just before 4 p.m. on April 2 at a grocery store on H Street in Southeast. 

The report simply says the victim reported the suspect "engaged in unwanted sexual contact with her." 

WUSA9 has reached out to the DC police union for comment.
