Sexual misconduct allegations against members of Harris County Precinct 1 Cons
HOUSTON – Three female deputies filed a federal lawsuit Monday accusing a Texas constable of turning the office’s undercover operations into a “booze-fueled playground for sexual exploitation.”
The deputies, who either work or worked for the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office in Houston, alleged women were subjected to unwarranted touching and kissing, molestation and sexual ridicule during their work with the office’s human trafficking unit.
The lawsuit alleges the office of Constable Alan Rosen set up undercover sting operations that were supposed to ultimately arrest those behind sex trafficking businesses. But those operations turned more into parties where officers drank heavily and the female deputies, who were given little to no training in undercover work, were fondled and kissed by their supervisory officer or were told to give lap dances to other male deputies.

Current and former female deputies claim they were assaulted by superiors during undercover operations. It’s not easy to talk about being exploited,” plaintiff Jacquelyn Aluotto said.
She was one of three plaintiffs who appeared at a Monday morning news conference.
They claim they became victims while working undercover for the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office s human trafficking unit. We’re here to speak truth to power so this never happens to any other women or children again,” Aluotto said.

When an officer overseeing the human trafficking unit at a Texas police department interviewed female deputies about participating in undercover operations, he asked them the same question: Do you have what it takes?
What it took, the women now claim, was attending fake bachelor parties where they were asked to act as prostitutes, wear revealing clothes and drink excessive alcohol in the company of drunk male supervisors.
