A Former deputy constable faces life in prison after the alleged sexual assault to a woman he pulled over during a traffic stop last year, as both he and his alleged victim testified during the first day of his jury trial.
However, the former deputy constable denied the allegation. He said that he talked to her at her window and that’s all. But the woman who lodged the complaint against the ex-deputy constable broke down on the witness stand as she told a different story.
She said that he asked her to get out of the car so he could search her again. She also added that the ex-deputy constable was aggressive and put bass in his voice.
The ex-deputy constable faces a maximum of life in prison if convicted of sexual assault to a woman during the traffic stop while in uniform with his gun.
The former officer was fired and arrested after the woman quickly filed a complaint about what happened after he pulled her car over while he was on patrol in his constable vehicle on April 24, 2017.
Both the victim and the officer gave similar accounts of the first portion of the traffic stop. Both testified that the former deputy constable pulled the woman over after 9 p.m. and searched her before giving her a warning ticket for a broken headlight and a piece of plastic covering part of her license plate.
And both said the ex-deputy constable then let her return to her car.
However, the woman said that he rolled down his window and directed her to a nearby parking lot. When they arrived at the parking lot that was brightly illuminated, the police officer then ordered her to drive to a dark and secluded gravel lot a block away.
The ex-deputy constable, on the other hand, testified that it was the woman who wanted to talk to him about what was going on in her life. He said he directed her first to a well-lit parking lot and finally to a darkened lot outside of an abandoned fast food restaurant.
He did not give details about what she wanted to talk about, but he agreed that he told her where to go.
Once they were in the dark, the woman stated he made her get off her car again and searched her again, but put his hands down the front of her tights.
The woman, who was 20 weeks pregnant at the time, went home and called 9-1-1 to report an incident. She used the phone number to identify him to police.
