Officer Chester Desiderio was the subject of an undisclosed administrative penalty for Facebook comments he made accusing former state Sen. Will Espero of escaping a police raid of an elicit massage parlor. The comments specifically are below:
“Will Espero, remember the time when you was at a certain massage parlor and when HPD came to raid the place you went exit in the back to escape. Wow so quick to bash HPD aren’t you.” |
|

Desiderio’s Facebook page was taken down after Espero filed a complaint.
Months after the complaint, Espero got a letter dated Sept. 10 from the HPD’s Professional Standard’s Office.
According to HPD spokeswoman Michelle Yu, Desiderio was not suspended for any period of time, but administrative action was taken, which Yu said could include a written reprimand or counseling. |
