A South Florida police officer inspected more than driver's licenses when he approached a teen couple sitting in the back of their car.

Juan De Los Rios, Miramar police captain and a 28-year police veteran, was arrested Friday on two counts of lewd and lascivious conduct after he allegedly required a 15-year-old girl to take her pants off so that he could use a flashlight to inspect whether she had sex with the 19-year-old also in the car.

The incident happened on January 18 in the parking lot of a Miramar industrial park, according to the arrest warrant.

The underage victim told police that an officer, whom she later identified as De Los Rios, approached the vehicle and asked what they were doing there.

"Well, are you having sex?" the officer asked as he leaned against the car window. The victim and witness both said "No, no, no, Officer, no," but De Los Rios told them he needed to check.

Here's the reported exchange as noted on the arrest report:

"Check what?" the victim said.

"I need to see inside."

"Inside what?"

The officer indicated between her legs and said "I need you to pull your pants down. I need you to take it all the way off," referencing her underwear. "I need you to open it," the officer said before using his flashlight to examine the victim's genitals. "No anal sex? No sex in general?," the officer continued.

"No, no."

Explaining that he needed to check for bruising, the officer then examined the victim's breasts before telling the teens, "Alright. Go home."

The victim eventually told family members about the encounter, and went to police and identified De Los Rios who has been on administrative leave since the complaint was filed in January.

After a warrant for his arrest was issued Friday, De Los Rios turned himself in.

Hours later, he posted the $30,000 bond and was released from Broward County Jail.

If convicted, the police captain faces 15 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
