"Vicknair was one of multiple officers who went to the victim’s home in response to a rape allegation in May 2020, over Memorial Day weekend. His assignment was to drive the girl, identified in federal court records by her initials, to Children’s Hospital so a sexual assault forensic exam, commonly known as a rape kit, could be completed.

“Officer Vicknair was a singularly bad choice for this task,” states the family’s lawsuit, which was filed Feb. 24. “He was not a member of NOPD’s Special Victims or Child Abuse units, and he had a long list of citizen complaints of unprofessional and illegal conduct."
