Hero Mom Stands Up Against Officer For Sexual Assault In Front Of Her Two-Year Old Daughter

This is the kind of story that is so unbelievable that you have to see it to believe it. After this mother came into family court accompanied with her two-year-old daughter, she never expected to be taken away from her in handcuffs after making a simple complaint.

The disturbing incident happened in Clark County family court back in August 2011, when Monica Contreras went to court to settle a divorce case. Her husband requested a temporary restraining order against her during their divorce. After the man failed to show up to the court hearing, the request was dissolved by the judge.

What happens next is absolutely terrifying. Internal documents show that as the woman was leaving, a court marshal named Ron Fox stopped her and ordered her she be submitted to a random "drug search." Confused, she acquiesced and followed him into a room alone. 

"Contreras said Fox touched her buttocks, breast, and ordered her to lift up her shirt. A later internal investigation by Clark County courts validated her claims." reports CBS News affiliate 8 New Now.

The mother then returned to the courtroom and asked for a female marshal to conduct the search because she felt uncomfortable and violated. She said that Fox didn't cease his actions or stop to listen to her. "I think I'd rather have a female in here and he went anyway. I was just offended by it. I'm just offended that he asked me," Contreras explained in the court room. Judge Patricia Donninger ignored her and remained silent.

To the mother's utter shock and horror, Marshal Fox ordered Marshal James Kenyon to arrest her. "For what, sir? Why would I be arrested? Can you please tell me?" Contreras contested.

As the woman is being handcuffed right in front of the eyes of her two year-old child, she continues to beg them to explain why she would be arrested. That's when Marshal Fox replies: "Because of false allegations made against a police officer." According to 8 News Now, no law exists that would even support this arrest and it is also highly unlikely a sexual assault victim could legitimately be placed under arrest by the alleged assaulter.
