San Antonio police officer charged with sexual assault of transgender woman

[ccharles000]

A San Antonio police officer is in jail and accused of sexually assaulting a “transgender man,” according to WOIA.com.

Based on the initial information available, it would appear that the victim is a trans man (assigned female at birth, transitioned to male). However, because news reports often fail to use correct pronouns and gender references, there is always the possibility that the victim is a trans woman.

According to the report, the victim alleges that Officer Craig Nash picked him her up on the morning of February 25, handcuffed him her, told him her to lie down in the back of the car, then drove him her to another location and sexually assaulted him her before dropping him her off.

There was enough evidence, including GPS information that linked Nash’s car to the reported scene of the crime and the victim’s identification of Nash in a lineup, to arrest Nash, who is currently being held on a bond of over $25,000 and charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of official oppression.

1. Very good that he's been arrested and charged.

Very bad that it happened in the first place.
