On Wednesday,  she was awarded $989,000 by an Oakland, Californian court. The final award was  a mere fraction of the $66 million she had been seeking. The scandal engulfed several officers across various agencies in the area.

As the cancer spread Sean Whent, Ben Fairow and Paul Figueroa all quit as Oakland Police chiefs in the space of eight days in the wake of the scandal.
None of the brass is suspected of having sex with her, rather they allegedly buried the case under a bureaucratic morass when it first reared it’s ugly head.
Another officer Brian Bunton, allegedly ‘coached’ the teen prostitute on street smarts by telling her how to avoid police sting operations, Abuslin said.
He is awaiting trial on obstruction of justice.

The teenage prostitute at the heart of the Oakland police sex scandal has won just under $1 million from the city.
Jasmin Abuslin, now 19, is the daughter of a police dispatcher who claims she slept with two dozen officers over several years dating back to when she was 16.
She used the prostitute name Celeste Guap and claims that some of the officers paid her after their encounters.
The scandal was unearthed last year when she began sharing her allegations. It has been tied to the suicide of one police officer and prompted the firing of several from different law enforcement agencies across the city.
Jasmin Abuslin, formerly known as Celeste Guap, won $1 million from the City of Oakland in a settlement. The former prostitute claims to have slept with 30 police officers over the last three years.
On Wednesday, Abuslin was awarded $989,000, a fraction of the $66 million she was seeking, by an Oakland court.
The sex scandal came to national prominence in late spring, when a now 19-year-old woman, known then by her professional name, ‘Celeste Guap’, told several news outlets she’d had sex with dozens of police officers from seven Bay Area law enforcement agencies, some when she was underage.
She said the officers she slept with knew she was involved in the sex trade.

Abuslin aka ‘Celeste Guap’ and the man who kicked her case into the public orbit and exposed the perverts in the Okaland Police Dept, officer Brendan O’Brien. He committed suicide in 2015 as the scandal erupted 

Oakland Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan said afterwards: ‘It is time to pay the settlement agreement to let this young woman get on with her life and her healing, but also for Oakland to step up and change the culture in the police department and change how we recruit and train our officers.’
Abuslin identified herself last year after the 2015 suicide of one of the officers involved.
She claimed to have slept with dozens of the men across the city and said some even encouraged her to keep working on the streets.
Abuslin said one officer tried to act as her pimp, renting her out a hotel room and telling her what to wear to find clients.
She said she had sex with another officer in his patrol car and that other cops warned her of hot spots where the department would be carrying out undercover operations to catch prostitutes.
Six current and former officers have been charged criminally for their involvement with her. Two have pleaded guilty.
Prosecutors previously claimed some of the men gave her Cheetos in exchange for sex.
Abuslin said: “Three out of all the 30 paid me.”
They also offered to send her to rehab to treat her drug addiction, she said.

 Jasmine Abuslin and her team head to court during the trial. She filed her $66 million lawsuit against the city of Oakland, days after her release from the rehab facility Florida in September, 2016. The $40,000 rehab was financed by Richmond PD one of the seven Bay area agencies under fire

At the peak of the scandal of sexual misconduct in police departments in the Bay Area. an offer to go to drug rehab came from one of the police departments under scrutiny
Initially that offer made by the Richmond Police Department was rejected by the woman at the center of the Oakland police sex scandal.
“I rejected it,” Guap said via text to KRON4. of the Richmond Police Department offering to get her help at a drug treatment center in Miami, Florida. She said the offer came on the day when a Richmond police sergeant brought her to the West Contra Costa County Family Justice Center, a one-stop, multi-service center for victims of sexual and human trafficking abuse.
“You feel like RPD was trying to get you out of town?” a reporter from KRON4 asked Guap.
“Yeahlol,” she replied.
the move was viewed by many civil rights activists as a conflict of interest and a possible scenario for obstruction of justice, at the time.
“Police agencies that have officers who are accused of misconduct with her, they should not be involved with her on any circumstances,” civil rights attorney John Burris said.
“That could easily be viewed as an obstruction of justice, where you are trying to interfere with a witness that may have testimony that may be hurtful to someone within your department,” Burris said.
According to Guap, it was a $40,000 drug treatment program and the Richmond Police Department offered to pay for it.
Initially, she was not enthusiastic. She declined the offer, stating that she does not have that kind of drug problem.
“…I’m not even on drugs like that,” Guap said.

The teen communicated with the officers through Facebook messenger and text, which she kept. The formed the bedrock of her suit

In one exchange the officer requested and received explicit photographs of the teen girl

 

Gotcha! Abuslin saved the messages she exchanged with officer Brian Bunton, he appeared to warn her off roads where other agencies were carrying out undercover police work to catch prostitutes 

Abuslin was cross when she considerd that her police pals were not living up to their end of the bargain

Eventually the teen relented and on August 1 2016 Richmond PD officers drove her to the airport to board a flight to Florida so that she could attend the rehabilitation program, they had financed.

She was arrested for aggravated battery three days after arriving.
Abuslin filed her lawsuit against the city of Oakland in the same month. Her lawyer said at the time that the treatment she received was akin to ‘modern day slavery’.
On Wednesday, the same lawyer welcomed the settlement.
‘The settlement occurred with no admission of liability, but obviously if you pay $1 million, you figure you got some responsibility,’ John Burris said outside court.
Abuslin no longer works as a prostitute. Her mother has never spoken publicly of the case.
Oakland Police Department Officer Brendan O’Brien killed himself in 2015 after she threatened to expose the fact they had sex when she was 17.
Livermore officer Dan Black admitted having sex with her once she was of age in his motor home in exchange for alcohol and dinners.

Mugshot: In September, 2016, the officers paid for the teenager to go to rehab in Florida. Curiously, she was promptly arrested, charged with felony aggravated battery and carted off to jail within three days. She filed her lawsuit days later.

Brian Bunton is awaiting trial on obstruction of justice charges for allegedly ‘coaching’ the teenager how to be a better prostitute.

Contra County Sheriff Ricardo Perez was charged with felony oral sex with a minor.
Oakland Police Officers Warit Utappa and Tyrell Smith were charged with unlawfully searching for information about her.
Retired Oakland officer Leroy Johnson was charged for failing to report suspected child abuse after allegedly being told by the girl in 2015 that she was having sex with his colleagues.
Giovani LoVerde, an Oakland Police Officer, is accused of having oral sex with her when she was underage.
