'A Los Angeles Police Department detective was arrested today on charges of threatening an ex-boyfriend and having him arrested by filing a false police report claiming she had been sexually assaulted.

Christine Wycoff, 44, was freed on $150,000 bond, and is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 22 in downtown Los Angeles on charges of dissuading a witness and false imprisonment, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

According to prosecutors, Wycoff met the alleged victim online in June 2014 and pair had a sexual relationship that lasted several months. When the relationship soured, Wycoff allegedly threatened the man, who reported it to the LAPD.

While the LAPD was conducting an internal investigation, Wycoff allegedly told the man that if he cooperated with the probe, she would accuse him of domestic violence, prosecutors said.'
