San Antonio, TX — A disturbing lawsuit was filed last year in federal court detailing a horrifying nightmare endured by an innocent woman at the hands of San Antonio police. The victim, Natalie D. Simms had her tampon pulled out by police who then conducted a vaginal cavity search—in public and on video—all to search for non-existent drugs. After learning that the local government has been spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to protect the officers involved, the case may finally be settling for $205,000.
The Law Offices of Dean Malone issued a press release earlier this year explaining how the city has “spent countless hours litigating the case, defending depositions, taking depositions, and drafting motions.”
They also asked the court to grant summary judgement against Ms. Simms, which would mean a jury would never have been able to hear her case if it were to go to trial.
According to a city agenda recently posted online, the city council is expected to vote on whether or not to fund the settlement on Thursday.
Constitutional rights attorney Dean Malone explained earlier this year how the city and police have railroaded her client. “It is unfortunate that a San Antonio resident could be subjected to such a search, and then further be subjected to lengthy litigation with no attempt by the Defendants to resolve the case,” he said. “The Defendants have spent untold thousands of dollars, and are now attempting to avoid a jury trial through their latest-filed motions. Natalie was humiliated and degraded by the search. If the court chooses to deny the Defendants’ motions, we look forward to presenting Natalie’s horrific ordeal to a jury in San Antonio.”
As we reported last year, in 2016, Natalie Simms had done nothing wrong, she had harmed no one, and had committed no crime when she was approached by San Antonio’s finest who had a hunch that she might have an illegal substance.
