Officer Silvio Filipovich Arrested for Sexual Assault

An officer with the Los Angeles Police Department was arrested Friday in Austin and charged with criminal attempted sexual assault, according to court documents.

Silvio Filipovich, 43, is accused of attempting to assault a woman who works at the Mountain Star Lodge motel on FM 620, according to his arrest affidavit. About 10:30 p.m. Friday, Filipovich asked the woman for a crib for his 3-month-old child, then pushed her inside a closet and forced his hand under her shirt and inside her pants, the affidavit said.

She fought to get away from him and called a co-worker for help, the affidavit said. The affidavit says it’s been confirmed that Filipovich is a Los Angeles police officer, but he was not on duty at the time and did not identify himself as an officer to the victim. He is no longer in custody at the Travis County Jail, records show. His bail was set at $20,000.

Los Angeles police officials have not yet returned calls for comment.
