(February 20, 2008)—Copperas Cove Fire Department paramedic Kasey S. Calvery has been charged with misdemeanor official oppression after an investigation into a 18-year-old woman’s claims she was fondled as she was transported by ambulance.
Calvery was arrested last Thursday.
According to the affidavit submitted for the arrest warrant, the woman, who was not named, told police that a paramedic who was treating her as she was transported by ambulance after an accident on Dec. 13 exposed and touched her breasts under the guise of assessing her injuries.
The affidavit says other paramedics interviewed as part of the investigation said that such an examination would have been normal protocol for such a case.
Calvery was put on administrative lead during the investigation.
He was free on bond Wednesday.

Either way, as someone who looks at Kasey and his family as my own, I express my support. Love ya BUB!
I hope they lock him up forever. Its pretty bad when you get your fun out of touching injured people. As a public servant, he should be held to a higher standard. No one should be able to use their position to do harm,regardless. Another thing,why was he alone with a female patient. Commom sense tells me that there should have been two,so no false allegations could be made. Looks to me like an opportunistic sexual predator.
To all of you that want to judge to quickly, the question is WERE YOU THERE? Have we heard anything from the girl? NO. And why is that? Is she ashamed for what she has done? Or was she coerced into doing it by someone else? Kasey has recieved many accomidations from the Fire Dept. And he was made a FTO officer to train other Medics. If hes was such a bad person then do you think that he would have gotten such accomidations. People like this girl are the reasons why it is so hard to do our jobs so effectivly. In my 7 years of experience of being a firefighter/emt there is no possible way to treat an injury correctly without exposing it first. The saying is "YOU CAN'T TREAT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE". So unless you were there don't judge. To all of you calling names and judging I pray for you. GOD is the JUDGE not YOU. I know my brother is innocent and know his working skills because I have worked calls with him. Everyone he treats he treats like he would his own famiy. Kevin Calvery. Brother
