Rancho Santa Margarita, CA – Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Cole appeared in court today
after the Orange County District Attorney (OCDA) filed charges based on
accusations that led to his initial arrest in June.
On June 23, 2010 Cole, 41, Hisperia, was accused of being on duty and responding to a call from a home located in an unincorporated area of Tustin. The mother of 17-year-old Jane Doe had
called OCSD reporting that her jewelry was stolen. Cole is accused of entering
the home and talking to the mother, Jane Doe, and Jane Doe's sister in the
living room. He is accused of entering Jane Doe's bedroom and telling the
victim to take off some of her clothes and then leaving her bedroom. After talking
to the mother and sister in the living room again, he is accused of going back
to Jane Doe's room and closing the door. Once Cole left the residence,
the victim immediately disclosed the sexual assault to her mother.
Cole has been charged with violation of Section 289 (h) of
the Penal Code and will be held
at the Orange County Jail until his arraignment before a judge. The Orange County Sheriff (OCSD) Department
publicly reported Cole’s arrest in June
and he has been on administrative
leave since then. He had posted bond and was released from
jail.
Assistant Sheriff Mike James said of the re-arrest today:
“Today is a very difficult day for us as we arrested one of our own for a crime
that is the worst violation of public trust. This arrest stems from a very
thorough, five-month long investigation we conducted with the Orange
County District Attorney’s office.”
