Girl Testifies Cop Told Her To Give Him Oral Sex Or He'd Take Her Mom To Jail

The girl’s words stuck mid-sentence Monday when testifying against former Cave Spring officer Patrick Earwood in his molestation and sodomy trial.

She had little parental supervision, and was by the Rolater Park bridge in summer 2012 when Earwood, 31, drove up in his patrol car. He stopped, and asked the girl what she was doing, she said. She was not yet 16 at the time.

“I said I was getting water,” the girl testified before her words began to slow. “He asked me if I … if I would give him oral sex. He told me that if I didn’t he would take my mom to jail.

“I did what he asked me to,” she added moments later.

The girl is one of four women prosecutors said would testify this week. Two teen girls who are friends and two adult women who don’t know the other victims accuse Earwood of touching them or coercing sex acts from them, Assistant District Attorney Kay Ann Wetherington said.
