Deputy Charged With Assaulting Inmate

by TChris

A deputy sheriff in Milwaukee, assigned to court duty as a bailiff, has been charged with sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman who was in his custody.

According to the complaint, Terrell took her and a group of other inmates to a court holding cell, then took the woman alone into the bathroom of a jury room, locked the door and told the woman, "I would fall in love with you, but I'm too old." The complaint says Terrell then removed the woman's handcuffs, took off her prison clothes and assaulted her before re-cuffing her and saying she should not tell anyone about the incident.

This is the second time the deputy has been criminally charged. He was acquitted in 2000 when he was accused of "kissing an inmate and removing her shirt, then exposing himself, on a courthouse elevator."
