Former Texas State Trooper found guilty of assaulting two women while on duty, faces up to life behind bars
Prosecutors said Friday that a jury found that 33-year-old Lee Ray Boykin Jr. deprived two separate victims of their right to bodily integrity while acting in his capacity as a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper by committing aggravated sexual abuse in one case and kidnapping in the other.
U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani said in a news release that Boykin"used his authority to stalk and prey on his victims for his own sexual gratification." Boykin faces up to life in federal prison when he is sentenced in April. Prosecutors said he has been in custody and will remain so pending sentencing.Boykin was also found guilty of two counts of destruction, alteration, or falsification of records.
Prosecutors said that at trial, one victim said Boykin took her to a secluded parking lot after ordering her out of her friend's car following a traffic stop. She said Boykin then falsely accused her of being a prostitute, threatened to take her to jail and forced her to perform oral sex on him before telling her to run while placing his hand on his gun.
The second victim testified that Boykin falsely told her she had outstanding traffic warrants and then ordered her out of her friend's car and took her to the same parking lot, prosecutors said. He was accused in a criminal complaint of demanding she perform oral sex, which she told investigators she did because she was scared.
