Girl's Rape Caught on Tape, Parents Say

HOUSTON (CN) - A jailer raped a 15-year-old detainee after plying her with candy, and unknown to the jailer, it was caught on videotape, the girl's parents claim in Federal Court.

Michelle and Danny Hall sued Harris County, the executive director of its juvenile probation department Thomas Brooks and its former correctional officer Robert Robinson, for their daughter M.S.H.

The Halls say their daughter was jailed in the Harris County Juvenile Justice Center in downtown Houston for about two months.
"It was during this time when defendant, Robert Emerson Robinson, age 28, a juvenile correction officer assigned to the boys' unit at the HCJJC, began to approach M.S.H. and use his power as a corrections officer to form a relationship and 'groom' her for sexual advances," the Halls say.

"Despite being assigned to the boys' unit, Robinson visited the girls' unit as often as three times per week to speak and manipulate M.S.H. Robinson had no trouble accessing the girls unit or having a fellow colleagues cover for him when he decided to pay 'special visits' to plaintiff.
