Wichita Falls, Texas
The former sheriff of Montague County used his position to demand "blow jobs" and other sexual favors from female inmates and other women whose relatives or husbands were entangled with the law, three alleged victims claim in Federal Court.
The women say the county failed to stop or prevent former Sheriff William B. "Bill" Keating from "coercing, intimidating, and threatening" women who relied on him to deliver justice.
Two of the three alleged victims, Lashana Dykes and Dawnita Knight, say they were repeatedly targeted for sexual assault and harassment by Keating. The third plaintiff, Shelley Lemon, says Keating made several inappropriate sexual propositions after he let her severely disabled husband off on a probation violation.
Keating allegedly visited Lemon's home after a warrant was issued for her husband, who had recently suffered two severe strokes that left him "confused" and "child-like."
Lemon says she offered Keating a cup of tea, which he declined, stating, "what I really need is a good piece of ass." He then "demanded that Lemon 'owed him a favor' in return for his efforts in getting the warrant lifted and explicitly stated that he thought he was entitled to a 'blow job,'" the lawsuit states.
