Veteran Houston Officer Being Investigated for Sexual Assault

HOUSTON

A 30-year veteran Houston policeman is being investigated amid allegations he sexually assaulted another male in southwest Houston, sources tell FOX 26.

A gun may have been involved in the incident, and the victim of the alleged assault has submitted a rape kit, sources said.

Meanwhile, the officer is relieved of duty pending the outcome of the criminal and internal investigations, sources said.

FOX 26 is withholding the identity of the officer because no charges have been filed against him.

However, Houston police have confirmed that he has been relieved of duty, although they declined to comment on the issue.
