When a cantina waitress came home crying with bruises on her wrists, arms and legs to tell relatives that she’d been raped by a Houston police officer, they didn’t believe her at first.
She had told them that an officer handcuffed her outside her workplace, drove her to a secluded park and – still in handcuffs – raped her multiple times, including on the trunk of his police cruiser.
“I just never thought that a police officer would do that to a person,” Israel Ramirez, a family member, testified through a translator Tuesday in a Harris County courtroom.
Abraham Joseph, 28, is on trial for two counts of aggravated sexual assault in the alleged Jan. 2 rape
