Spring branch estates was the name were her home was located. Netherland went there to pick up the young woman an take her to Cross Roads mental hospital on request of her mother because the young woman was depressed. Netherland as drove young woman to the facility decided to pull his penis out while he was driving an talked dirty to young woman an in parking lot before they had reached there destination which could be seen in distance. Stopped under shade tree an proceeded to threaten young woman with worse punishment if young woman wouldn't perform oral sex on him. Young woman refused an Netherland forced her to do it. Then he proceeded to Cross Roads an dropped young woman off. Young woman was 14 yrs. old at the time this happen. So how you the young woman reflects on this pour excuse of Police officer who was supposed to protect an server. Reflect on this She wasn't the only victim that's for sure.
