A former top state prison official has been indicted by a Walker County (Texas) grand jury in Huntsville on felony sexual assault charges. If convicted, Salvador "Sammy" Buentello, who retired April 30th after former co-workers accused him of sexual harassment, could face up to 20 years in prison. The indictments allege that Buentello sexually assaulted three women on four occasions in 1999 and 2002. At the time, he was an assistant director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and headed the agency's State Classification Committee, which assigns convicts to various prisons. Buentello, who could not be reached for comment, is expected to surrender for arraignment on the new charges this week. |
