Deputy Charged in Jail Sexual Assault | Oakland News

A former San Francisco Sheriff’s Deputy, Damon Jones, faces two felony charges for allegedly coercing a transgender woman inmate into oral sex in a jail bathroom in September 2025. Surveillance footage shows him escorting her to a stall, and she later testified he threatened her safety to force compliance—DNA evidence confirmed his involvement. This is the second deputy charged this week, prompting Mayor Daniel Lurie to condemn the abuse of power. Jones was immediately removed and fired after the incident, as authorities continue their investigation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
