On-duty Houston Police Officer Accused of Sex Assaults

Houston, Texas

Demetrie Trevail Dixon, a second-year Houston police officer was jailed Friday on charges that he stalked women while on duty, raping two of them repeatedly in secluded warehouse building parking lots. In each case, the women told investigators Dixon approached them from his patrol car for questioning before driving them to a secluded location where he threatened them with jail unless they submitted to a strip-search.

Two of the women, who reported that Dixon detained them twice on different occasions, told investigators the officer forced them to perform oral sex and then raped them before letting them go.

One additional charges stems from an undercover HPD officer who reported Dixon detained her as she walked down a public street and took her behind a warehouse to pat her down.
