(September 19, 2008)—A state district judge Friday in Williamson County convicted former Georgetown police officer Jimmy Lewis Fennell, Jr, 35, of kidnapping and improper sexual activity with a person in custody in a case involving the rape of a drunken woman after Fennell responded to a domestic disturbance call.
Fennell pleaded guilty to the charges in May in a plea bargain deal in which he would have served a two-year prison term, ten years on probation and paid a fine, but Judge Burt Carnes rejected the agreement.
The Austin American-Statesman reports Fennell waived his right to a jury trial Friday and decided not to withdraw his guilty plea.
Sentencing is next Friday.
Fennell faces as much as ten years in prison for kidnapping and up to two years in state jail and a $10,000 fine for improper sexual activity.
Fennell was fired in December, reinstated, put on paid leave and then he quit.

i was sexually assaulted by an off duty police officer several years ago, i eventually dropped my case after i was slaughtered and harrassed by his partners and friends, it is hard to break "the code of brotherhood", im glad some one had enough guts to hang in there and stand strong.
I agree, TDCJ and it's residents will enjoy him!! He was just a bully that was "hiding behind" the badge! SCUM!
to marlin - not all cops are like that & i am sure you are an honest citizen but i have to say that your comment does sound a little like you are trying to convince yourself...its the bad cops that give the good ones a bad reputation. but since you think they are ALL bad - I hope you never genuinely need their help.
