The incident occurred at 580 Tower Avenue in Bloomfield and involved an on duty Hartford Police Officer in the Church Parking lot. The Officer has been identified as Hartford Police Officer Joven Gonzalez, according to Police Reports obtained from Bloomfield PD and sources within the Hartford Police Department.
According to Bloomfield Police reports, the incident occurred on July 29th when Bloomfield Police received reports at about 2:12am from an "anonymous" witness who observed some sort of altercation or interaction between a young female and a uniformed HPD officer in the parking lot at 580 Tower Avenue.. They claimed to see the Hartford Officer, later identified as Gonzalez holding the hands of a young female and she appeared to be trying to pull away from him and the female was yelling "let go of me" and "get off of me"
Although the anonymous witness did not see any visible injuries on the juvenile, they still notified HPD and reported the incident..
Subsequent to the incident, Bloomfield PD dispatched Sergeant Zachary Klomberg to respond to Hartford Police Headquarters and meet with the Hartford Officer, Joven Gonzalez and conduct an interview regarding the incident.
Prior to conducting the interview, Sgt. Klomberg advised Gonzalez of his Miranda Rights, which Gonzalez reportedly waived. During the interview, Gonzalez reportedly admitted that he incident occurred with a "juvenile" that he had had an "intimate and sexual" relationship with. Gonzalez claimed that only after he began the "intimate and sexual " relationship di he realize she was a juvenile. Gonzalez claims he only realized her age after he helped her apply for a job and saw her birth certificate with her age on it.
That claim might be somewhat questionable since Gonzalez had arrested the Juvenile previously for a Larceny and common practice would dictate that he had to either establish her identity and charge her accordingly as an adult or determine she was a minor and charge her through the Juvenile Court process. Either way, Gonzalez must have known her age.
According to Gonzalez's statement, he claims that after arresting the Juvenile, she tracked him down through Social Media and they began their "intimate and sexual" dating relationship.
According to HPD sourced, Gonzalez is married and the father of two young children.

A request for comment from HPD as to Gonzalez's current status with HPD has not been acknowledged. HPD sources tell me that he has been taken off the street and is working inside, but he has not been suspended and still maintains his full Police powers at this time
According to the Bloomfield report, this issues may be a little of a hot potato as any charges are in Limbo, According to the report, the Hartford County States attorney punted the matter to HPD, but Bloomfield clearly has the jurisdictional authority over this matter, and HPD would only have administrative authority over Gonzalez's actions internally.
The identity of the female "victim" has been withheld from the reports as both a juvenile and an alleged victim of Domestic Violence.

So what exactly is considered a juvenile here in a legal sense? Is it 13 to 17? 15 is the age of consent in CT. If he helped her apply for a job, I would have to assume that she is 15 or older. The optics look horrible here, but the officer may have done nothing illegal. Perhaps he should consider chemical castration or a half dose of it to reduce his libido. With him doing desk duty, he won't need so much machismo.
Keep hiring turds and this is what you get! Lolol....there will be plenty more in the future with the current hiring practices!
15 is not the age of consent!! 16 is!. If this female was 15 when he had sex with her he should be fired immediately. Not next week, not next month. Now! Arrested and fired, period. If he is not smart enough to not mess around with some little ho while he is married with kids, he does not deserve to wear a badge and gun.
15 is the age of consent for what? It certainly isn’t legal for a 15 year old to consent to sexual relations with a person 18 or older. And he did a lot illegal, inappropriate and unbecoming of an officer, period full stop. Joven Gonzalez is the Jeffrey Epstein of HPD. Keep it classy HPD.
Joven Gonzalez is the prime example of lowering hiring standards and pushing for minority hiring to “reflect” the community. Go back to hiring the best regardless of race or gender and this won’t happen. The standards at HPD have been seriously compromised.
16 is legal age to give consent or 18 if the adult has a position of authority over the juvenile. Sounds like he admitted to committing statutory rape. Also if she was under 16 he was allowing someone unlicensed to drive his vehicle.
Once again, the bottom feeders at the miserably failing Hartford Courant poached your story once again and quoted from the BPD report YOU obtained! And of course no credit to Mr. Brookman.
It won't end...allow cadets to remain cadets until their 23yo, no shaving of their heads anymore, lower the Cooper's Test standards, extend and re-extend the FTO periods, make 60 a passing score, curve the scores then curve them again. U get the picture.
