O'Malley also said that the district attorney's office will do \"all it can to ensure that the young [woman] at the center\" of the scandal \"receives the services and help she deserves.\"

It has been \"widely reported\" that the woman went to a rehabilitation center in Florida, O'Malley said, adding that the district attorney's office did not make arrangements for or participate in sending her to Florida and that it \"protested her removal from California.\"

In June, O'Malley announced that an investigation had been launched into the allegations of sexual misconduct. Public outcry followed the news of the sex scandal, she said. The month before, the Oakland Police Department had announced that it had launched an internal investigation into sexual misconduct involving three police officers.

The Oakland Police Department has started dismissal proceedings against the Oakland officers implicated in the case, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said in a press conference Thursday, according to ABC station KGO in San Francisco. Schaaf did note that some of the officers might have previously left the department.

One of the Oakland Police officers implicated in the scandal killed himself last year, The AP reported. It is not clear which one.

The Oakland Police Officers' Association did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment. President Barry Doneland said in the statement today that the union is disappointed by the actions of the officers linked to the sexual misconduct, The AP reported.

The union previously said it would not be representing most of the implicated officers because the alleged misconduct occurred while they were off-duty, according to The AP.

The Oakland Police Department has experienced turmoil in the past few months, going through three police chiefs in less than 10 days in June as the news of the sex scandal came to light.
