NW Indiana officer charged with raping co- worker

- Nader Issa

A northwest Indiana officer was indicted Thursday on six charges, including two counts of rape.

An investigat­ion into Nicholas Medarno, 34, started in the fall of 2016 when the Lake County Sheriff’s Department asked Indiana State Police to look into allegation­s from a co- worker of the officer.

A grand jury indicted Medarno, an officer in Crown Point, with two counts of rape; two counts of confinemen­t; one count of attempted rape; and one count of sexual battery, according to police.
