A Dallas County woman and her two sisters are behind the latest sexual assault charge leveled against a Dallas police officer, an arrest affidavit says.
Tyrone Lee Williams Jr., 49, was arrested for a second time Tuesday. He had previously been arrested on June 14, 2021, on a sexual assault charge.
That case was never filed or taken to a grand jury, court records show. However, it appears to have led to the three women making an outcry.
The first victim in the affidavit (her name was not used) had been involved in a sex trafficking operation with a man who was ultimately arrested and convicted. Letedious Moore is serving a 12-year prison term for compelling prostitution, according to the affidavit. The victim, who had been a runaway, was sent to a juvenile facility. Her mother had communicated with Williams and was released to his custody, the document said. It was at his home at the Monfort Oaks Apartments that police believe the sexual abuse began.
"In January of 2011, two months after being arrested by Suspect Williams and a victim of trafficking, Complainant was living with Suspect Williams and his daughter," the affidavit reads. "While Complainant was living with Suspect Williams, he would pick her up from school, take her home, and sexually assault her on a continuous basis. While on duty with the Dallas Police Department, Officer Williams went home during his lunch break and sexually assaulted Complainant."
Williams and his family moved to North Texas after Hurricane Katrina, his sister told police. All lived in the apartment complex.
"M. Williams recognized Complainant being around at the time Suspect Williams lived in the Montfort Oaks Apartments. Ms. Williams recalled her brother, suspect Williams, was helping care for Complainant because her mother was having difficulty with her behavior," police wrote in the affidavit.
The victim's mother told police she had known Williams for about a year prior to her daughter's decision to run away and confirmed that she had "a lot of problems" with her daughter.
The document references the two younger sisters as sexual assault victims, something confirmed by the attorney who became involved in the case.
"For whatever reason, when they Googled my name came up and they called me on a Saturday afternoon. I was headed to a football game and didn't really want to take the call. But after hearing their story I knew that they were my purpose. So I headed over to their house and rounded them up and got them to the police station," said Hunt Bonneau, an attorney who brought the case to the police department's attention. "They just kind of had given up when nobody was believing them."
Williams had made threats if the victim told anyone. "Williams reminded her he is an officer and 'knows how to make people come up missing,'" the affidavit says.
It was the June 2021 arrest of Williams that Bonneau said convinced the girls to ignore threats and make the call. "The oldest of the three…said look, this story that just broke is identical to what happened to us."
Williams is being held in the Dallas County jail on a $100,000 bond. His attorney denies the accusations.
"The accusations are unsubstantiated," said Scottie Allen, Williams' attorney. "There is nothing, not a shred of evidence to corroborate what she said. The family will back him up."
