TL;DR for Mags:
Woman gets felony drug charges. Police tell her cooperate = dropped charges. Women puts on go-pro and pretends to buy drugs on a sting operation. She gets raped twice while the handlers sit outside in a van doing nothing. She sues them.

A police informant raped twice during an undercover drug buy in Louisiana has filed a lawsuit alleging her law enforcement handlers failed to monitor her in real time and allowed the attack to “play out” despite concerns over how long she was inside a known stash house.
The suit filed this week in Alexandria alleges Rapides Parish sheriff’s deputies “coerced” the woman into working as a confidential informant after her arrest on felony drug charges and failed to keep their promise to protect her if a purchase went bad.
So this sounds like something that would happen to me if Eso and Mags were my handlers.

The woman wore a hidden camera that recorded Jones forcing her to perform oral sex on him twice in an attack so brazen he paused at one point to conduct a separate drug deal.

The lawsuit alleges that deputies waiting nearby feared for the woman’s safety because she was in the home too long and that one, Deputy Cassie Jolene Saucier, considered going in before ultimately deciding to allow the undercover deal to “play out.”
The lawsuit also names retired Lt. Mark Parker, the ranking official overseeing the operation, who told AP last year that the sheriff’s office didn’t start using equipment capable of monitoring in real time until after the woman’s rape and often sent informants into stings without any recording equipment at all.
“We’ve always done it this way,” Parker said. “She was an addict and we just used her as an informant like we’ve done a million times before. Looking back, it’s easy to say, ‘What if?’”
