Video Evidence: Girl,15,Raped By Her Jailer

A former Harris County jailer must face claims that his rape of a 15-year-old detainee was caught on videotape, a federal judge ruled.
In a November 2012 complaint on behalf of their daughter M.S.H., Michelle and Danny Hall sued Harris County; the executive director of its juvenile probation department, Thomas Brooks; and former correctional officer Robert Robinson.

The couple said Robinson took a special interest in M.S.H. during her two-month detainment in downtown Houston’s Harris County Juvenile Justice Center.
Robinson, then 28, was assigned to the jail’s boys unit but visited M.S.H. in the girls unit up to three times a week, according to the complaint.
“The grooming of M.S.H. began with Robinson’s visits in which he gave M.S.H. food and candy,” the complaint states. “His visits quickly escalated with quid pro quo requests that exchanged gifts for genital fondling and touching.”
The Halls said that the lack of rules at Harris County juvenile jail allowed Robinson to have unfettered access to their daughter.
“On or about May 23, 2012, on the eve of M.S.H.’s transfer, Robinson’s harassment culminated into the rape of a minor,” the complaint states. “Robinson, aware of M.S.H.’s pending transfer, told her that he would visit her the night before she was to leave.
“As per the usual and customary practice of the facility, Robinson was allowed to abandon his post on the 5th floor of the boys’ unit and enter the girls’ unit undisturbed. He was allowed to enter M.S.H.’s room, with the lights out, and rape her. Unknown to Robinson, the rape was captured on video.”
