Glispy was facing up to 20 years after being convicted this week in a case that has raised criticism that Constable Sylvia Trevino did not move fast enough to get Glispy off the street.
That woman, who did not speak to reporters after Thursday’s verdict, was the officer’s second victim. Four months earlier in January 2017, the deputy cornered another woman in the restroom of a Popeye’s chicken restaurant. He sexually assaulted her, and then attempted to force her to perform oral sex, prosecutors said. She was able to get away, and she testified against Glispy during the punishment phase of his trial.
Constable criticized
Because two women were victimized four months apart, Paul O’Sullivan, a businessman and resident of Precinct 6, watched the entire trial to see how the incident was handled.
After the verdict, he blamed Precinct 6 Constable Sylvia Trevino, who was elected after her husband, Victor, was convicted of public corruption in 2014.
“After nothing happened to him after the first time, he was allowed to stay out there and hunt for four more months,” O’Sullivan said. “He was a rookie with no supervision.”
O’Sullivan, who is not connected to the case except as one of Trevino’s constituents, said that if there had been a thorough investigation when the first incident happened, there wouldn’t have been a second “Jane Doe.”
