HARRIS COUNTY, TX – On June 21, 2016, a former Harris County Sheriff’s reserve deputy was charged with the Sexual Assault of a Child (14-17).

The defendant, Charles Francis Walker, was not employed by the Sheriff’s Office, but rather served as a volunteer in the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Reserves. Mr. Walker was dismissed from his volunteer capacity, and his TCOLE license was revoked as a Dishonorable Discharge on the date of his arrest.

“Whether you are employed by the Sheriff’s Office, or serving in a volunteer/advisory capacity, I expect anyone associated with this agency to uphold the highest standard of professionalism,” stated Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman. “Mr. Walker’s egregious actions tarnish the reputation of anyone wearing a badge whether full-time or as a volunteer.”
