A former transport officer of the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office has been indicted for sexually assaulting female jail inmates.

The Eastern District of Texas of the U.S. District Court is charging William Clifford “Cliff” Isaacs Jr. with four counts of civil rights violations and one count of a using firearm to further a crime of violence, said U.S. District Attorney Maureen Smith.

The text of the indictment states that Isaacs assaulted four women in four separate incidents beginning in October of 2012, and the most recent occurring in September of 2013. They took place when Isaacs transported the women from the Fannin County Jail to state jails, Brown said.

The incidents involved Isaacs inappropriately touching the women, coercing them to perform sexual acts on him and, in one incident, exposing himself. In one of the incidents, Isaacs “did knowingly possess a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence,” says to the indictment.
