McALLEN — Jurors are expected to begin deliberations today in a sexual assault case against a former U.S. Border Patrol agent.
Scott Anthony Sullivan, 42, is accused of violating the civil rights of a girl and a woman in two separate incidents while working as a Border Patrol agent at the Falfurrias checkpoint. The case is heard before U.S. District Judge Ricardo Hinojosa in federal court in McAllen.
The charges stem from two separate reports.
In the first charge, a woman accuses Sullivan of assaulting her on March 21, 2003, according to a federal indictment.
The second charge stems from a report filed by a 16-year-old that Sullivan molested her on Aug. 31, 2001.
Both of the alleged victims were given aliases in the indictment to protect their identities.
