21-Year-Old Woman Says She Was Sexually Assaulted by a Deputy During a Traffic Stop

Corley says she was driving to the store when she was pulled over by a Harris County Sheriff's deputy.

"I feel like they sexually assaulted me! I really do. I feel disgusted, downgraded, humiliated," Corley told ABC 13.
Officials say the deputy pulled Corley over for allegedly running a stop sign. Once the deputy pulled her over, the deputy then asked Corley to step out of her vehicle because he smelled what he believed to be marijuana. He then handcuffed Corley and placed her in the back of a patrol car. 

No marijuana was located in her vehicle, however Corley says the deputy said he smelled marijuana inside of the patrol car which she was in. He then called for a female deputy, who found .02 ounces of marijuana on her.

"She tells me to pull my pants down. I said, 'Ma'am, I don't have any underwear on.' She says, 'Well, that doesn't matter. Pull your pants down,'" Corley said.

Corley says she hesitated but deputies say she resisted. Corley says she did not consent to the search.

"I bend over and she proceeds to try to force her hand inside of me. I tell her, 'Ma'am, No. You cannot do this,'" Corley said.

A spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff's office said the deputies did nothing wrong. But Corley is planning to file a complaint with the Harris County Sheriff's Office's Internal Affairs Division.
