Jury finds ex-San Antonio cops guilty of all charges in sex case

[TexasTowelie]

Two former San Antonio police officers were found guilty Friday on multiple counts of sexual assault and other charges after a lurid trial in which three women described how the men seduced them with the promise of money and legal favors for participating in what turned out to be a fake undercover operation.

Emmanuel Galindo, 31, was convicted of four counts of sexual assault, five counts of compelling prostitution and 12 counts of official oppression. Alejandro Chapa, 29, was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault, four counts of compelling prostitution and eight counts of official oppression.

State District Judge Steven Hilbig immediately began the punishment phase of the trial, and the wives of both men made tearful pleas for the jury to keep them out of prison.

In closing arguments, a prosecutor had said the two former officers were criminals who lured women into having sex, displaying their badges — and at one point, a gun — and using official-looking police documents and application forms to make them believe their offer of payment was for a legitimate crime-fighting program.

2. What I find to be unbelievable is that the wives of both of these officers were willing to forgive

their husbands so that they could stay out of jail. I wonder if they reconsider those decisions if their husbands do receive prison sentences? This doesn't seem like a set of circumstances where probation would be an adequate punishment.
