That's pretty nutty. I don't know the backstory, but even if it's "consensual" it's still statutory rape to have sex with a minor.
> I do not believe they even faced disciplinary action.
Not even that administrative process? How come the courts had anything to say about it, then? ...I guess that must have been the minor's court appearance, not the cops. Under the circumstances, I guess that minor might have been disinclined to give defence evidence that the arresting cops had raped her.

I believe she was a minor but above the age of consent in that state. And yeah, there's the whole question of "why are cops having sex while on duty?" - that's inappropriate even if it's your spouse, let alone someone you're interacting with in an official capacity, let alone someone who is in custody and detained, let alone someone who is handcuffed at the time. There are so many separate levels of "what the actual f" here.
