ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The attorney for a former Allentown police officer accused of having sex with prostitutes says investigators influenced witness identification in the case.<\/p>\n
Jason Krasley was arrested in 2024 and charged with a slew of crimes related to his time with the vice squad.<\/p>\n
Krasley has been fighting charges he had sex with prostitutes while on the job at APD since January 2025.<\/p>\n
In a new filing, Krasley’s attorney says in at least one instance, investigators allegedly influenced the outcome.<\/p>\n
The new filing has images from recorded interviews with an accuser identified as AV.<\/p>\n
The images show the two detectives who worked the Krasley case showing the woman a lineup of men and says when the woman could not immediately identify anyone, the detectives acted in a way that influenced her to pick Krasley’s photo.<\/p>\n
Because of this alleged tainted identification process, Krasley’s attorney is asking for it to be withheld and the case involving AV be dismissed.<\/p>\n
Krasley faces two other cases involving two separate women.<\/p>\n
A judge is expected to rule on the motion in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
We reached out to the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office about the filing. A DA spokesperson says the DA has no comment and that the case was referred to the state Attorney General’s Office for prosecution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The attorney for a former Allentown police officer accused of having sex with prostitutes says…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,28],"class_list":["post-248599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news","tag-pennsylvania"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
