QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES
Means "Who Polices the Police?"

From the Houston Chronicle:

HPD officer accused of sexual
advances toward motorist fired

Officer J. Eric Matamoros, 27, was charged last month with misdemeanor official oppression after a five-month internal police investigation. He later was released from jail after posting a $1,000 bond.

According to the criminal complaint, Matamoros subjected the woman, 23, to both verbal and physical sexual advances — including kissing, touching the woman's breast and attempting to touch her genitals, and asking to perform oral sex on her.

The complaint also accuses Matamoros of offering to let the woman go if she agreed to have sex with him.

Hmmm. I wrote this last month while pondering a similar story out of San Antonio:

This reminds me of rumors I used to hear when I was a teenager about how the Harris County Constables, who were contracted to patrol Kingwood before it was annexed by Houston in the mid 90s, would offer to not give tickets to teenage girls for MIP's or speeding in exchange for sexual favors. Of course, these were just rumors, but some of those Constable guys were in Willem Dafoe or Christopher Walken territory with their sense of sexual creepiness: I wouldn't at all be surprised if such things actually happened.

Needless to say, after hearing about this HPD cop I would be even less surprised to learn that the same thing was happening in Kingwood back in the 80s. What is it with these creepy pervy cops?
