LEWISVILLE — When the 911 call came in from a woman saying she’d just been sexually assaulted by a police officer, the Lewisville Police Department wasn’t sure who she was talking about.
She said he’d introduced himself only as “Officer Charles.”
Investigators determined Officer Filemon Perez was on duty at the time and had been dispatched to the area for an unrelated noise complaint.
The victim said she’d been walking home after several drinks at a nearby bar and sat down to rest for a moment when she said the uniformed officer approached, asked if she was okay, and said he’d assist her the rest of the way home.
The woman told investigators her father had been a police officer and she “felt safe to trust this officer”. She said she got into his patrol car and directed him to her apartment building. She said, though, he ignored her directions on where to turn in, opting to park at a distance from her building.
