DALLAS (1080 KRLD)- The Dallas Police officer who was arrested for the sexual assault of a child yesterday was a friend of the victim's family, a probable cause affidavit says.

Tyrone Williams Junior, 48, is no longer in the jail, records show.  The records say a judge had set bond at $25,000.

The girl had been staying with Williams, who was a friend of her family, the affidavit says, after problems at her own home.  The assault, the document says,  happened last month in the bedroom of Williams’ daughter, who was not home at the time.

It was Williams who called a Dallas Police detective to report the girl, who had been reported as a runaway, was to be found with her boyfriend at an apartment.  She was arrested as a runaway, and it was during her transport that the girl made an outcry that Williams had “rubbed up on her” in an inappropriate way, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit says an interviewer from the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center conducted a forensic interview.  The victim told the interviewer She was alone with Williams and sleeping in the daughter’s bed when the assault happened.

Court records show Williams will be hiring his own attorney, although no attorney had been listed.
