California Highway Patrol officer charged with sexual assault of 16-year-old girl
A California Highway Patrol officer was charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in the San Francisco Bay Area after a monthslong investigation, authorities said.
The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Monday charged Brian Watkins, 34, of Fremont, with three counts of unlawful sexual assault against a minor, after Fremont police arrested him last week following a monthslong investigation.
Fremont police began investigating Watkins in July 2019, after receiving a report of “alleged sexual misconduct involving Watkins” and a teenage girl, the East Bay Times reported.
