Dallas Police Officer Accused of Second On-duty Sexual Assault

Dallas, Texas

About a month after being fired, a second victim has come forward.

A Dallas police officer who was fired in June after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman while on duty was arrested Tuesday and accused of a second on-duty sexual assault.

Assistant Police Chief Vince Golbeck said Tuesday that a second woman came forward to accuse Jeffrey Damon Thorn after she and her family saw news coverage of Thorn's firing.

In the June case, Thorn allegedly threatened to take the woman to jail unless she performed a sex act in his marked squad car, a conversation that was recorded by his in-car audio system.

Women Blame County for Ex-Sheriff's Abuse

July 26, 2010

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.

Note: William B. Keating plead guilty to civil rights violations in January of 2009. He has since passed away.

Houston Police Officer's Racist Postings On Facebook Investigated

The Houston Police Department has launched an internal investigation after an officer posted on Facebook that she would arrest anyone of a certain nationality for merely looking at her in a certain way.

Numerous postings by Officer Deyna Carabajal, 32, spelled out her dislike for Hondurans, including numerous posts where she suggested she would arrest them for various reasons.

"Zero tolerance 4 yall today," she wrote in one of her posts. "Y'all look at me wrong at all today -- y'all riding," she wrote. "Riding" is police lingo for taking a trip to jail.
