Summary
A woman is suing Gillespie County after alleging repeated sexual assaults by former deputy Edward Holloway, who allegedly used his authority to target her while she sought refuge from an abusive husband. The suit claims Holloway exploited welfare checks to locate her, assaulted her in his patrol car and public restrooms, and intimidated her using his position. Despite prior warnings from colleagues labeling him a disgrace, the county allegedly failed to screen, supervise, or investigate him — now facing criminal charges for abuse of power. The plaintiff, seeking justice and compensation for trauma, has handed the case to the FBI and Texas Rangers, demanding a jury trial to hold both Holloway and the county accountable for negligence.
