It took an Arizona jury two days of deliberation to reach a guilty verdict in the trial of former Customs and Border Protection Officer Aaron Mitchell. The jury found the man guilty of both a federal civil rights offense and a kidnapping charge related to the sexual assault and kidnapping of an Arizona middle school student. The jury also found that the defendant’s conduct included aggravated sexual abuse that resulted in bodily injury.
Prosecutors revealed that after handcuffing the young girl, Mitchell drove her to his apartment in Sierra Vista, Arizona, where he sexually assaulted the girl before releasing her near the site of the kidnapping. The victim testified that after being handcuffed, Mitchell told her to do everything he said because he didn’t want to hurt her.
In a statement released by the United States Department of Justice, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Civil Rights Division described the nature of offenses committed by Mitchell, saying, “The heinous crimes committed against a young middle school student by an individual sworn to uphold the law are unspeakable.
