LOS ANGELES >> The Los Angeles Department of Transportation is investigating a report that two of its uniformed traffic officers appeared in a pornographic film.

Interim General Manager Amir Sedadi says the probe was launched Thursday and the officers are on paid leave. They could face disciplinary action if wrongdoing is found.

KNBC-TV reported that a video on an adult website shows an officer spanking and fondling an actress. The report says the actress also spanks a second officer and performs lewd acts in his city car.

In a statement, Sedadi says the department doesn’t tolerate inappropriate behavior. He also says the allegations shouldn’t be taken as representative of the department’s nearly 600 traffic control and parking enforcement officers.
