Andrew C. Sustaita Jr.
Andrew C. Sustaita Jr. was a 6 year veteran for the Harris County Sheriff's Police Officer assigned to the crime control division. [1]
Background
Andrew comes from a family of law enforcement as his father has been a part of the Harris County Sheriff's for about 40 years.
Before Andrew was a part of the Sheriff's office with his father, he was a U.S. Army specialist and also worked at Harris County precinct 4 Constable's office.
Days after he was given the opportunity to be part of the crime control division in Houston, Texas, sometime on January 9th, 2017, Andrew allegedly uploaded a video online where he is in a sex act with a small dog. Investigators were contacted immediately about obscene material coming from an account in Harris County and after an investigation it reveals that Andrew uploaded the content on line with a police department computer. The video has footage of Andrew committing Bestiality. [1]
Since Texas is one of the states that does not have a bestiality law, he was charged with felony obscenity. He was arrested and immediately fired as investigators have said that the video itself is truly graphic. He was released on a $5,000 bail.
Investigators got a warrant from the court to search Andrew's house and electronics.
The high-tech team were able to find close to 200 images and videos of Child pornography. They believe that these were either bought or traded. The children seem to be as young as 4 years old.
He was arrested again and attended another court hearing in which he was charged with possession of Child Pornography.
He was released on a $30,000 bail.
People in the community have vouched for him as a family man in the press conference, which also included his father who stated that he is devastated.
He is to appear in court again on January 16th, 2017.
