A Milwaukee police officer pleaded no contest Monday to four felonies and four misdemeanors stemming from his practice of conducting illegal strip searches and cavity searches on male suspects, but avoided conviction for sexual assault.

Vagnini regularly pulled over drivers on a pretense of not wearing a seat belt or of having darkly tinted windows and searched them without a legal reason, according to a motion filed by Falk, who is prosecuting the case against Vagnini and three other officers. Vagnini conducted searches of men's anal and scrotal areas, often inserting his fingers into their rectums, according to the criminal complaint. Vagnini acknowledged performing one of the searches, and at least one suspect said Vagnini planted drugs on him. State law and police procedures prohibit officers from conducting body cavity searches. Only medical personnel are allowed to perform them, and police must first obtain a search warrant. The searches occurred on the street and in district stations over a period of two years.​
