Jury Convicts New Orleans Cop On 2 Counts

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Henry Hollins, a veteran New Orleans police officer who prosecutors said carried a "portable sex kit" in the trunk of his cruiser, has been convicted of attempted aggravated rape and second-degree kidnapping.

The conviction came Tuesday after a five-day trial. A 40-year-old woman accused Hollins of raping her after stopping her in 2009.

The woman testified that after Hollins' partner left his shift early, Hollins took her to a warehouse and raped her, with his gun and stun gun at arm's length.

Hollins is scheduled to be sentenced next week. Wednesday's Times-Picayune reported he faces up to 50 years on each count.
