(CNN) Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Carl Holmes has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting three female officers to whom he presented himself as a mentor, according to prosecutors. "All three women testified about the extent to which (Philadelphia Police Department) culture discourages reporting a fellow officer, especially a boss," the document said. At one point, Holmes allegedly pushed "one of his fingers inside her vagina" before she managed to get away. After pushing himself against her, Holmes allegedly stuck his hands down her pants and inserted his finger into her vagina, according to the presentment. Ross, the city and others were named in a lawsuit filed in August by two female Philadelphia officers.
