KOKOMO – On Monday, July 8, 2024, the Kokomo City Police Department requested the Indiana State Police investigate an alleged sexual assault that occurred involving a juvenile and a probationary officer with the Kokomo City Police Department.
A detective from the ISP Peru Post was assigned to investigate the complaint.
That investigation was completed in mid-July, and the case report was submitted to the Howard County Prosecutor for review and determination of any warranted criminal charges to be filed.
Subsequently, an arrest warrant was obtained through Howard Superior I Court for 31-year-old Sinme I. Asomuyide of Indianapolis, who is facing felony charges of sexual misconduct with a minor, sexual battery, child seduction, and official misconduct.
Asomuyide was terminated for committing “multiple policy violations.”
Detectives with the Indiana State Police served the arrest warrant Monday at the Tipton County Jail, where Asomuyide turned himself in without incident. He is currently housed in the Tipton County Jail and is awaiting an initial court appearance.
This remains an active and ongoing investigation. No further information will be released at this time.
