Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said one of his off-duty detention officers has been arrested following accusations that he repeatedly sexually assaulted a 4-year-old.
Salazar said the victim's mother reported the sexual assault Saturday night after the child made an outcry to her mom. It's believed the sexual assault had been going on for the past few months, possibly years. Sheriff Salazar said the victim's mother is an undocumented immigrant and Nunez allegedly threatened her with deportation if she reported the sexual assault.
After further investigation and questioning, 47-year-old Jose Nunez was arrested and charged with super aggravated sexual assault.
Nunez is a 10-year veteran of the sheriff's office.
It's believed that other children may be involved. Salazar said there may be other victims.

Am I alone in thinking cops who abuse their positions should actually face harsher penalties than regular people who do the crimes?

I gotta confess, I really like the name of this charge.
That aside, if you read through half the DV case files to cross my desk, you'd be prepared to assume this is the norm among those empowered, in any way, over the vulnerable.

I wonder how many more cases like this there actually are... He used her status as an undocumented person as a way to silence her - shameful and disgusting
