Harris County Sheriff’s Office Fires Six for Sexual Misconduct

Houston, Texas

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office confirms that one deputy, one supervisor and four detention officers had their employment terminated because they had sexual contact with inmates or other employees.

One deputy under investigation has resigned and a supervisor under investigation has chosen retirement.

Sheriff Adrian Garcia spoke publicly about the sexual misconduct of the employees.

"Their actions are inexcusable because it was crystal clear to all of our employees that this kind of conduct is wrong," Garcia said. "The laws of Texas, the rules of the Sheriff’s Office, our training programs and common sense all say so."

The fired deputy has been indicted on a criminal charge, Garcia said.
