About a dozen women held up signs in front of an Anchorage courthouse protesting bail conditions for a police officer charged with multiple counts of sexual assault.
Forty-one-year-old Anthony Rollins is a 13-year police veteran indicted in July. He has pleaded not guilty to 14 felonies and six misdemeanors.
He is out of jail, under house arrest with electronic monitoring until his trial.
He's allowed to go to church on Sundays but otherwise confined to his home.
Keeley Olson was one of the protesters holding a sign Friday in front of the Nesbitt Courthouse.
She says Rollins' bail should be higher but the protest was not just about him.
Alaska is the perennial leader in forcible rapes, and Olson says she wants to raise awareness of the problem.
