Inside the shocking undercover 'bachelor party sting operation' in Texas that saw female cops forced to buy sex toys, give lap dances and dress as prostitutes to 'make the other hookers feel comfortable'

A group of female deputies in Texas who accused their male colleagues of staging bachelor party prostitution 'stings' as an excuse to get drunk and sexually assault them has been handed a $1.5 million settlement.

Harris County agreed to pay deputies Liz Gomez, Marissa Sanchez, Felecia McKinney, Jasmine Huff and whistleblower Jacquelyn Alutto the sum on Tuesday. 

The deputies claimed they were abused and harassed when the undercover operation set up by Assistant Chief Deputy Chris Gore turned into a drunken 'playground for sexual exploitation'.

The women were forced to give lap dances by Gore, who also instructed them to buy 'slutty' clothing and purchase sex toys with him funded by taxpayer cash, according to the bombshell filings.

Among the most disturbing allegations was that 'sacrificial lamb' McKinney was instructed to allow herself to be raped in order to secure a bust at a massage parlor.

'It's been a long road. My clients are happy to have this in the rearview mirror. It´s been an honor to represent such amazing people,' said Cordt Akers, an attorney for the women told Click 2 Houston.

The undercover 'bachelor party' sting operations, approved by Constable Alan Rosen, were intended to ultimately arrest those behind sex trafficking businesses.

However the lawsuit said those operations turned more into parties where officers drank heavily and the female deputies, who were given little to no training in undercover work, were fondled and kissed by their supervisory officer.

The women confided in anti-trafficking advocate Alutto, who worked with the police in its trafficking unit and she complained about the behavior, the lawsuit states.

Afterward, she claimed she was then pushed out of her role for speaking out. All of the women also said they faced some form of retaliation.

According to the court filing obtained by DailyMail.com, in August 2019, McKinney was sent during an undercover vice squad-style operation to a massage parlor where she was raped by a known sexual offender.

The suspect had previously sexually assaulted Constable Rosen's own chief of staff, but she was instructed to wait until she was attacked before she could give a signal to her colleagues to move in and arrest the suspect, the documents state.

'McKinney was forced to allow this to happen as she was ordered to do by her superiors,' the lawsuit alleges, 'even though there was already 'sufficient evidence to make an arrest prior to exposing McKinney to this trauma'.

According to the court documents, Gomez, the lead plaintiff in the federal lawsuit, was hand-picked by Gore for undercover operations, despite her lack of training.

The deputy claims that she was 'continuously subjected to sexual harassment, unwarranted touching, unwanted kissing, molestation, and sexual ridicule.'

The complaint alleges that Gore instructed Gomez to purchase skimpy outfits to be worn during the 'bachelor party' stings, and send photos of the clothing to him while shopping.

'Gore would relay the message “that’s not slutty enough” while Gomez was trying on the clothing at the store, and was ordered to purchase something more provocative,' the lawsuit alleges.

Gore also allegedly took Gomez to an adult store with him to purchase sex toys as props with county funds.

The complaint claims that during the stings, female deputies like Gomez were ordered to allow Gore to lie on top of them and fondle their breasts and bodies to 'maintain cover.'

'They were never warned, however, that during this conduct Chief Gore would be wearing only boxer shorts, fully aroused, drunk, kissing and licking their bodies, and giddy after every sting,' according to the lawsuit.

Gomez claimed that after she requested to be taken off the case she was 'belittled' for 'not having what it takes' before being replaced by Sanchez.

In addition to Gore, Deputy Lt Shane Rigdon was also accused of sexual misconduct by Huff who claimed he exposed and fondled her during one of the stings.

Rosen was initially included in the complaint before a judge ruled he could not be held accountable for his subordinate's actions. 

Constables are elected positions in Texas, and constables and their deputies have the same powers of a city police officer or sheriff´s deputy. They can investigate, arrest and use force if they suspect criminal activity.

In a statement when the lawsuit was filed in 2021, Rosen said an internal affairs investigation by his office found no violations of law or policy and that the women had never submitted a formal complaint.
