Prosecutors said the 25-year-old victim was walking home in Spring Branch on Oct. 4 when Geonary Gillespie detained him and sexually assaulted him.
HOUSTON — A former security guard who is accused of posing as a cop and then kidnapping and sexually assaulting a man faced a judge on Monday.
Prosecutors said the 25-year-old victim had just got off work around midnight on Oct. 4 when he stopped at a corner store in Spring Branch. He left and started walking home when he was approached and stopped by Gillespie, who was pretending to be a police officer. He took the victim's information and allegedly called dispatch before taking him to another location where he sexually assaulted him, authorities said.
"On top of that intimate level of violation, you have a defendant who is posing as a police officer, someone that as a community we're supposed to trust, and we are trained and educated to trust, and here he is abusing that position of power to take advantage of somebody and ultimately sexually assault them," Harris County District Attorney's Office prosecutor Barbara Phillips said.
