Deputies Arrest Man Who Allegedly Groped Two Young Women

CYPRESS, TX -- Harris County Sheriff’s Office Child Abuse Unit investigators have arrested a 23-year-old man who has groped and exposed himself to females in the Copperfield area over the last few months.

Investigators charged Jeremy Devon Hollins, 23, with indecency with a child/exposure, which is a third degree felony.

On January 20, a 16-year-old girl said she was walking her dog along the walking path of Horsepen Creek when an unknown black male, later identified as Hollins, grabbed her and slapped her buttocks two times, and eventually exposed himself to her before she was able to break free and run away.

A few days later on January 23, witnesses said Hollins went into a business in the 7700 block of Cherry Park Drive in the Copperfield area, and assaulted a female employee by groping her several times behind the business counter.

The male suspect told the employee his name was "Devon."

The incident was reported to law enforcement with a description of the man.

Because of the time frame between both incidents, deputies in Copperfield were provided descriptions and advised to be on alert for similar types of incidents.

On June 13, deputies responded to a suspicious person call at the same business where the assault occurred on January 23.

Hollins went into the same business as before and was harassing the female employees there.

The deputy issued a criminal trespass warning.

Deputy investigator T. Tribbett of HCSO Child Abuse Unit was assigned to the prior indecent exposure case and was provided with this new information.

He was able to reach the complainant in the walking path case and developed a photo lineup.

The victim identified Hollins as the one who groped her and exposed himself.

Hollins was arrested at his home in the 8500 block of Lake Crystal Drive.

Additional charges are expected, as investigators are presenting their finding in other related cases to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
