A San Diego Police officer is accused of sexual misconduct involving at least four women, according to SDPD Chief William Lansdowne.

A separate law enforcement source said the officer is Chris Hays.

SDPD Chief William Lansdowne said the officer -- whose identity he would not confirm -- is being investigated for improper "pat downs" of four detained females and for getting "sexual gratification" while doing them.

"In the course of the detention, officers search people, and in this case we believe the searches were done improperly, but it didn't go underneath inside the clothing -- it didn't go there," said Lansdowne.

At least one of the alleged victims had been drinking. The incidents happened in the downtown and central San Diego areas.

Hays is on paid leave and has been relieved of police responsibilities.
