OAKLAND -- Oakland California's Police Department is investigating a sex scandal involving allegations of officers having sex with a minor.

And now, two other internal investigations have surfaced regarding confidential information being shared with people outside the department, and racial text messages exchanged between officers.
"I want to assure the citizens of Oakland that we are hell bent on rooting out this disgusting culture and holding those accountable...responsible for their misdeeds," said Mayor Libby Schaaf.
Mayor Schaaf is beyond frustrated with what she calls the "frat-house mentality" in the Oakland Police Department.

After just two years as chief, Sean Whent resigned amid a sex-scandal investigation involving several officers accused of having sex with a minor.
