A Marlin, Texas, Police Captain is Arrested on Alleged Sexual Abuse Charges
A complaint made against a Marlin, Texas, police captain resulted in the man’s arrest by Texas Rangers on Wednesday, June 29, 2017. He has been charged with second-degree felony sexual assault. The law enforcement officer verbally resigned from his position after the arrest.
On June 20, authorities were notified by the district attorney that a woman filed a complaint against the captain. She alleges that, because she entered the country illegally, she was afraid she would be arrested if she didn’t cooperate with his requests. The district attorney’s office says the former police captain allegedly asked a woman about her legal status and then used his authority as a law enforcement officer to force her into sex acts.
An affidavit shows that the captain allegedly encountered the woman repeatedly, telling her that she would be arrested for entering the country illegally unless she had sex with him. The woman says that at first she refused, saying she did not want to comply. The affidavit details a series of events in which the former police captain allegedly continued to apply pressure on the woman to engage in sex acts.
Texas Rangers arrested the former police captain at a financial institution where he reportedly working in an off-duty capacity. He was admitted to a county jail and was soon released, after posting a $50,000 bond.
