HOUSTON
A former Houston police officer is charged with aggravated sexual assault after a woman accused him of raping her while he was on patrol.
The Houston Chronicle reports 27-year-old James Anthony Rodriguez also is accused of brandishing a firearm during the Sept. 6 rape.
The incident allegedly occurred during a traffic stop while he worked as a patrol officer.
Police spokesman John Cannon says the victim reported the incident that day and the Houston Police Department immediately began an investigation.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office filed the charge against Rodriguez Dec. 15.
It wasn't immediately clear tonight whether Rodriguez had an attorney and a telephone number for him could not be found.
Rodriguez, who resigned from the police department on Nov. 22, was released on a $40,000 bond.
