Grand Jury Indicts 2 Former Balcones Heights Cops
Cops Face Civil Rights Violations
POSTED: 10:33 am CDT May 14, 2004
SAN ANTONIO -- Two former Balcones Heights policemen face federal charges in connection with sexual assaults of a half-dozen women while on duty.
Rolando Rico Trevino and Dwaun Jabbar Guidry are accused of civil rights violations, stemming from two separate attacks in 2002, including an alleged rape inside Guidry's police car. The defendants were arrested Thursday and later released on $25,000 bonds each.
Jim
y Parks Jr., Trevino's lawyer, told the San Antonio Express-News in Friday's editions that his client would plead innocent. A public defender was appointed for Guidry.
The civil rights inves
tig
tion, led by the Texas Rangers, was opened after a 30-year-old woman c
laimed to San Antonio police that Guidry, 29, raped her in his patrol car in December 2000. Five other women between the ages of 18 and 20 wrote the city of Balcones Heights in January 2003 to demand a total of $25 million over accusations that Guidry and Trevino assaulted them at the police station on Nov. 24, 2002, and took pictures.
Guidry faces two charges that he used his position as a police officer to deprive a woman of her civil rights, including one count of kidnapping and one count of aggravated sexual assault.
Also, Guidry is charged with conspiring with Trevino, 27, to violate the rights of five other young women in a separate attack.
Trevino faces a conspiracy count, which carries a maximum of
10 years in prison.
The women were arrested on charges of underage drinking at a convenience store and the officers destroyed or hid paperwork related to their arrests, according to the indictme
nts.
