Former Riverside County Sheriff's deputy accused of raping a woman in La Quinta on Saturday left the department in 2004 after being arrested on suspicion of hiring a prostitute. Sources say that 35-year old Marc Diaz worked in the Coachella Valley Unified School District - the district had no comment.
According to Indio police, the solicitation took place on June 25, 2004, near Bliss and Oasis streets. At the time, Diaz was a nine-year veteran of the sheriff's department and was working in the Indio courthouse. Diaz is now accused of walking into a business in the 78000 block of Highway 111 and displaying a law enforcement badge. He then ordered a woman into his pickup truck and drove her to a secluded place near Washington and Country Club and raped her. He is being held on one-million dollars bail, and is expected to be arraigned today.
