Joey Lamar Ellis, a former Texas park ranger, faces 20 charges including sexual assault and robbery, allegedly preying on gay men in Cullen Park.
Ellis allegedly used his city-issued vehicle to block victims, threatening them with arrest or to tow their vehicles while robbing and assaulting them.
One victim reported that Ellis followed him to his car, threatened him with a firearm, and demanded money, forcing him into humiliating situations.
In a chilling pattern, Ellis coerced victims into using dating apps to lure others to the park for similar attacks, using his uniform to instill fear.
