PASADENA - A complaint alleging that Pasadena Police Officer Kevin Okamoto perjured himself during the investigation and prosecution of Edward Damas has been filed with the Pasadena Police Department.

The complaint, received Monday, is the latest of several written complaints and signed declarations alleging gross misconduct by Pasadena officers.

Okamoto is named in many of those complaints, which accuse Pasadena police officers of kidnapping, beating and threatening to kill witnesses.
