HARRISON COUNTY, Texas — A family member working for Harrison County hired now-former Deputy Roger “Chilly” Valentine who has been charged with sexual assault, attorneys for the victim allege.
The woman, “Jane Doe,” a resident of Dallas County, also has filed a civil rights lawsuit against Valentine, Harrison County and the Sheriff’s Association of Texas in which she is seeking a jury trial and $2 million in damages.
Attorneys for Doe filed a second amended complaint in federal court Feb. 27, alleging Harrison County Human Resources Director Velma W. McGlothin failed to complete a thorough background check of Valentine, who is her relative, when she hired him in late 2013.
