SAN ANTONIO – A Bexar County Sheriff’s training instructor has been removed from interacting with cadets or the general public after being accused of having inappropriate contact with a detention cadet, BCSO officials confirmed Friday.
An academy supervisor received a report about the alleged incident in March, which led to an internal affairs investigation being launched, an agency spokesman said.

A BCSO source familiar with the investigation, who spoke with the Defenders on the condition of anonymity, said the instructor is accused of groping a female cadet.
A BCSO spokesman on Friday described the allegation as “unwelcomed and inappropriate contact between an academy instructor and a detention cadet.”
The training instructor will remain in the position, away from the public, pending the outcome of the administrative investigation, the spokesman said.
