A former Lowell police officer has been sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to using the power of his badge to extort and solicit sexual favors from prostitutes while he was on and off duty. In Lowell Superior Court on Wednesday, Aravanh Lakmany, 32, of Dracut, pleaded guilty to charges of extortion by threat and three counts of solicitation of prostitutes. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office dropped three counts of rape against Lakmany. Judge Richard Tucker sentenced Lakmany to two years in the Middlesex House of Correction followed by three years probation. A former six-year veteran of the Lowell Police Department, Lakmany was suspended without pay in June 2011 after his indictment. He resigned from the department on Nov. 24, 2011.
