Former Texas State Trooper charged with sexually assaulting two women while on duty
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors announced that Lee Ray Boykin Jr., a former Texas Trooper, is looking at federal civil rights violations charges after allegedly forcing two women to have sex with him in the Houston area – while he was on duty. In their court documents, law enforcement officials said that Boykin forced the women to perform oral sex on him after pulling them over during separate traffic stops in August according to court documents.
Boykin is 32-years old and is from Spring, Texas. Following his arrest, authorities said that they are looking for more victims.
The accused sexual assailant is a former State Trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The criminal complaint, filed on March 24, alleges he deprived two separate victims of their right to bodily integrity. He is also charged with carrying and using a firearm during a crime of violence as well as destruction, alteration or falsification of records in a federal investigation.
The complaint against him states that on August 7, 2020, Boykin conducted a traffic stop near an Express Inn at 9025 North Freeway in Houston. After issuing the driver a written warning, Boykin allegedly ordered the passenger to get into his patrol car.
The charges allege he then drove the woman to a back parking lot at 10700 North Freeway and parked near a dumpster. There, he threatened to take the victim to jail for an out-of-state warrant if she did not perform oral sex on him, according to the complaint. She allegedly feared for her life and safety and obeyed Boykin’s commands.
Following the sex act, Boykin placed his hand on his weapon and ordered her to run, according to the charges.
The investigation revealed there had been a second victim, according to the complaint. On August 3, 2020, Boykin allegedly pulled up behind a vehicle parked at a Texaco gas station at 9404 North Freeway in Houston. He told the passenger she had outstanding warrants and said he was taking her to a substation, according to the charges. He then allegedly ordered her into his vehicle and drove her to the same back parking lot at 10700 North Freeway.
The complaint alleges Boykin told her he knew what she did for a living and wanted some of it – meaning sex. Fearing Boykin, she complied with his demands and performed oral sex on him, according to the charges.
If convicted, the former Texas State Trooper faces up to life in prison.
Authorities believe there may be other victims. Anyone with information about potential additional victims is asked to contact the FBI at 713-693-5000.
The Houston Police Department, Texas Rangers and FBI are conducting the investigation.
