| Houston Police Officer Abraham Joseph |
Houston Police Officer Abraham Joseph, recently indicted on charges of sexually assaulting a woman, is now being sued by the victim. Authorities have indicated that more victims are likely.
To recap, Officer Joseph allegedly drove up to a Houston area business where the victim was working. At the time of the arrival, the victim was standing outside of the business. Court documents indicate that Officer Joseph arrested a man at the business and also placed the woman in his police cruiser.
According to court documents, Joseph began to fondle the woman. Then, Joseph drove to a remote location and freed the man. He drove to another location, where he repeatedly assaulted the woman. At one point, the officer placed the woman on the rear of the city patrol car as he assaulted her.
Joseph previously served on the New York City police force. Joseph, who joined HPD in July 2009 and is assigned to the Southwest Patrol Division, worked alone on the late-night shift and had stopped at the business, where he picked-up the woman, a month earlier, according to the victim's attorney.
"One of the issues we want to look at is did he do this kind of conduct up in New York as well,“ the attorney said.
"The point is not merely catching after doing a bad act," the attorney said. "We give them the prerogatives to take our lives and use deadly force, so we have to make sure we get them before they do the bad acts."
