Cop Accused of Sexually Assaulting Woman in Pool Pleads Not Guilty

The Riverside County District Attorney's office has charged John Fox Jr., 37, with one felony count of attempted sexual penetration, one felony count of assault under the color of authority, one misdemeanor count of indecent exposure and two misdemeanor counts of sexual battery in the September 29, 2010 incident.

Fox appeared in an Indio courtroom in Riverside County to enter his plea. He was expected to post his $25,000 bond and be released.

Prosecutors say Fox responded to a noise complaint at a home in Cathedral City and found three women in a pool.

He allegedly stripped off his uniform and got into the pool where he sexually assaulted one of the women, prosecutors said.

The owner of the home, who was not swimming, called 911 to file a complaint.
