A former Harris County sheriff’s deputy was sentenced to 17 years in prison, eight to serve Thursday afternoon on a sexual assault conviction by Superior Court Judge Bobby Peters.
Peters also required Pierson to register as a sex offender.
Pierson was convicted on Aug. 30 on two counts of sexual assault on a person in custody related to one of three traffic stops that were the subject of the eight-day trial. He faced up to 25 years in prison for each of those convictions. He was also convicted on six additional charges, on which Peters said the sentences, ranging from 12 months to five years, would be served concurrently to the sexual assault charges.
The judge was stern and did not mince words when he handed down the sentence.
“I have a different take on it,” said Peters, a former Muscogee County sheriff’s deputy. “It is not one incident of having sex with one lady while on duty. It was a pattern.”
Peters admonished Pierson for his behavior while on duty.
“That was his access,” Peters said of the traffic stops. “He abused his power.”
The woman whom Pierson admitted performed oral sex on him on Valentine’s Day 2016 was clear in her victim’s statement that she was the victim of a sexual assault.
“I was sexually assaulted on the highway in broad daylight on the side of the road in Harris County,” the woman said. “And I was verbally assaulted on the witness stand.”
Pierson apologized to all three women by name.
“I did not act appropriately and I am responsible for my actions,” he told the court.
About 50 Pierson family members and friends packed the left side of the courtroom, sitting behind the defendant. He broke down apologizing to them.
