The deputy took the woman upstairs alone, while another deputy questioned witnesses downstairs, the sheriff said.

CLAY COUNTY, Fla. — Perry is facing allegations of sexually assaulting a woman who had contacted the Clay County Sheriff’s Office to report a theft on June 18, as stated by Cook.

On June 21, CCSO was notified of the allegations against Perry and began an investigation.

“Following several interviews and extensive investigative work, detectives acquired the necessary evidence to charge Perry with armed sexual battery, leading to his arrest earlier this evening,” Cook explained.

Cook mentioned that Perry pursued the victim to her bedroom upstairs, while another deputy remained downstairs engaging with witnesses. Alone with the victim in the bedroom, Perry “demanded that the victim reveal her breasts to him, and he then inappropriately touched the victim against her will, fulfilling the actions constituting the offense of sexual battery,” she reported.

Cook is asking that anyone who had a similar experience with Perry contact the sheriff’s office.

“I want to speak directly to the citizens of Clay County who have ever been through the burdens of trauma or sexual assault,” she said. “We hear you, we stand with you, and we will fight for you. I could not be more disappointed tonight with the news that I have to share with our community.”

Cook said she was “pissed, devastated, [and] let down.” She continued: “We’re here to protect and serve our community, not victimize them. And the fact that somebody who wears a badge victimized someone in this community is devastating — it makes me mad.”

She thanked the victim for her bravery. “I know this was extremely difficult for her,” Cook said, “and she is very brave, and we appreciate her stepping up and letting us know about this.”

Perry had worked with CCSO since October 2018. The sheriff’s office investigated two other complaints against him during that time — one was sustained, and the other was determined to be unfounded, Cook said.

A document of the sustained complaint says that he “admitted he made inappropriate comments during his conversations with (the complainant).” 

The document describes Perry complimenting the complainant’s appearance and telling her “I want to **** you.”
