A Fulton County police officer has been fired after police say he allegedly raped a woman.
A police report obtained by Channel 2's Nefertiti Jaquez says Bobby Ransom, 33, showed up to an apartment in Alpharetta with his badge and gun and forced his way into a woman's unit. According to the report, he forced himself on the woman.
The alleged incident happened in May of last year.
Channel 2 Action News has learned Ransom was fired on February 16 of this year, almost a year later.
“it’s questionable looking at the circumstances,” said resident Yakubu Abdulai.

Jaquez asked Fulton County officials why it took them so long to fire the officer. They would not give us a reason nor would they tell us exactly why they terminated Ransom.
However, multiple sources close to this case tell us Ransom was fired because he initially denied knowing or having sex with the alleged victim. He later admitted to it, but said “it was consensual.”
We’ve also learned the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office is now looking to see if they have enough evidence to proceed with criminal charges.
They sent Jaquez a statement saying:
“It is still under investigation. It is our plan to reach some conclusion in the matter within 90 days.”
