A fired deputy constable was convicted of sexual assault to a pregnant mother during a traffic stop last year.
According to the authorities, the 31-year-old fired deputy constable faces a maximum of 20 years in prison. The constable, who had been recently free, was immediately taken into custody and held without bail.
Authorities also noted that the ex-deputy constable was accused of attacking a woman at a party. They tell that the ex-deputy constable used his power as an officer when he forced the woman to put her hands on the top of his car as he groped her and put his hands down her tights.
According to the report, the ex-deputy constable pulled the woman over in the 5800 blocks of Martin Luther King, while he was in his constable vehicle after 9 p.m. on April 24, 2017.
A man testified that he pulled the woman over and searched her. He said the two got into a conversation and he told her to move her car, first to a well-lit parking lot, then a dark and secluded gravel lot next to an abandoned fast food restaurant on MLK.
It was at the third stop that he “searched” her again and gave her his phone number to call him later.
The woman, on the other hand, testified that after she was released from the third traffic stop, she drove home and called the police to file a complaint against the ex-deputy constable.
On the witness stand, the man testified that at the third parking lot, he just talked to her through her window. In court, he acknowledged that he gave the woman his personal cell phone number on a page from his policeman’s notebook and told her to call him.
However, according to the ex-deputy’s defense, he argued that the investigation, which did not turn up any video or DNA, was not thorough enough to convict the ex-deputy constable.
Despite their explanation, the judge still disagreed, finding the former lawman guilty of the second-degree felony of sexual assault, a verdict that caps his possible punishment at 20 years in prison.
