CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. ( KTLA) -- A Cathedral City police officer is facing charges for allegedly stripping naked and sexually assaulting a woman in a swimming pool while on-duty.
The Riverside County District Attorney's office has charged John Fox Jr., 37, with one felony count of attempted sexual penetration, one felony count of assault under the color of authority, one misdemeanor count of indecent exposure and two misdemeanor counts of sexual battery in the September 29, 2010 incident.
Prosecutors say Fox responded to a noise complaint at a home in Cathedral City and found three women in a pool.
He allegedly stripped off his uniform and got into the pool where he sexually assaulted one of the women, prosecutors said.
The owner of the home, who was not swimming, called 911 to file a complaint.
Before Fox's supervisors arrived at the scene, he put his uniform back on and left the residence.
The D.A.'s office says it investigated the incident and "collected evidence sufficient to prove that Fox had committed the crimes."
Fox is scheduled to be arraigned on Nov. 1.
