Former Nogales Police Officer Charged with Kidnapping, Sexual Assault

(Phoenix, Ariz. – April 20, 2006) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the filing of kidnapping and sexual assault charges against Ramon Fernando Borbon, 36, a former Nogales Police Officer.

The complaint alleges that in September 2005, Borbon knowingly restrained a woman with the intent to inflict harm while in uniform, and then sexually assaulted her.

Borbon, of Rio Rico, was taken into custody today by Arizona Department of Public Safety officers. The charges follow an investigation by DPS that started shortly after the victim came forward in September 2005.

Borbon was scheduled to appear before Nogales Magistrate Mary Maley today for his initial appearance and setting of a preliminary hearing date.
