A woman who was captured after illegally crossing the Mexico border into the U.S. has filed a federal lawsuit against a Border Patrol agent, accusing him of sexually assaulting her at least twice while she was in restraints on a hospital bed, the Associated Press reports.
The agent was guarding the woman at a South Texas hospital where she underwent two surgeries after she was injured in Border Patrol custody.
The alleged victim said her constitutional rights were violated.
The agent, who has not been identified, had been on administrative leave before a grand jury declined to indict him. His status with the agency is unclear.
