(Reuters) - An Oklahoma City police
officer accused of raping or sexually assaulting at least six women
while on patrol was released from jail after posting $500,000 bond on
Friday, officials said.

Daniel Holtzclaw, 27, a three-year veteran of the Oklahoma City
police force was arrested last month and charged with 16 counts of
burglary and sexual assault including two counts of first-degree
rape and sexual battery, among other crimes, court records show.
Holtzclaw's bail was originally set at $5 million cash, but his
attorney Scott Adams successfully lobbied the judge to reduce the
total to $500,000, according to court records. A deputy at the jail
said Holtzclaw was released after posting bond.
Holtzclaw was ordered into house arrest and fitted with a GPS
monitoring system, court records show. He was forced to turn in his
badge, uniform, and weapon.
Police said some of the suspected assaults took place as a result of
traffic stops.
