UPDATE: 26 SepOklahoma City police officer charged with 10 additional sex crimesBY MATT DINGER
PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 26, 2014
An Oklahoma City police officer accused of sexually assaulting numerous women in northeast Oklahoma City is now accused of assaulting two additional women and violating his bond conditions.
Daniel Ken Holtzclaw, 27, faces additional counts of first-degree rape, second-degree rape by instrumentation, four counts of sexual battery, two counts of forcible oral sodomy, one count of indecent exposure and one count of procuring lewd exhibition. The 10 new felony counts were filed Friday in Oklahoma County District Court.
The new counts include allegations that Holtzclaw assaulted a woman while she was handcuffed to a hospital bed.
Three previous counts of indecent exposure have also been amended to counts of procuring lewd exhibition. Holtzclaw was initially charged Aug. 29 with 14 assorted sex crimes, including rape, as well as counts of first-degree burglary and stalking.
Two additional victims were identified in court documents filed Friday. Both new victims came forward after seeing Holtzclaw in the news and identified him as the police officer who assaulted them, court records show.
There are now a total of 10 reported victims spanning 26 counts.
On the night of June 18, Holtzclaw reportedly picked up a woman walking on NE 16 and offered her a ride, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case. She agreed to let him take her halfway home, but instead he parked between two buildings at a vacant school where he assaulted her, the affidavit states.
Holtzclaw is also accused of having sex with that woman in the back seat of his patrol car, and telling her �I want to see you tomorrow night around the same time,� according to the affidavit.
Another woman told police that she was arrested by Holtzclaw on drug complaints in December near NE 27 and Lindsay Avenue. He took her to a southwest Oklahoma City hospital to be treated for drug usage, and then assaulted her while she was handcuffed to a bed in the hospital, according to a second probable cause affidavit.
Holtzclaw reportedly contacted the woman on Facebook after she was released from jail. In January, he went to the woman�s northwest Oklahoma City home in his personal vehicle, the affidavit states. Holtzclaw reportedly exposed himself to her inside the vehicle and requested oral sex and intercourse, but the woman declined and left the car, according to the affidavit.
Holtzclaw has also been accused of violating the terms of his electronic monitoring, less than two weeks after he was released from the Oklahoma County jail on a $500,000 bond, records show.
According to a bond-release program violation report, Holtzclaw left his parents� Enid home and went to what appeared to be a medical facility the morning of Sept. 17. He did not inform the case manager of any medical appointments scheduled for that day and was out of the home about 90 minutes, the report states.
Because of the new charges and the apparent violation of court conditions, prosecutors are seeking an increase in bond. The bail amount was originally set at $5 million, but was lowered by District Judge Timothy Henderson at a Sept. 3 hearing.
�As was presented in the bond hearing, there is still unidentified female DNA evidence from the defendant�s police uniform pants. This is a strong indicator there are even more victims to be located,� Assistant District Attorney Gayland Gieger wrote in the bond increase motion.
Prosecutors are asking the court to significantly increase the amount of bond or deny him bond altogether.
Defense attorney Scott Adams said Friday afternoon that he has not seen the new charges or evidence against Holtzclaw.
�Daniel has always maintained his innocence and swears up and down that he hasn�t done anything,� Adams said.
He also said Holtzclaw went to the doctor, but forgot to notify authorities.
�He had one mistake. He went to the doctor there in Enid. Other than that there haven�t been any hiccups to his bond. In Daniel�s defense to that, he�s never been in this situation before. He�s completely overwhelmed,� Adams said.
�It was just a communication error. Everybody is human. We�ve sat down and talked about it. It wasn�t anything malicious,� he said.
The bond increase motion hearing is set for Thursday morning.
