Lubbock Police Officer Trial Put Off Again

Lubbock police officer accused of sexual assault was set to go on trial Monday.  However, the trial was delayed for a fifth time.  It will be rescheduled for November or January.

A victim came forward two years ago saying 32-year old Jason Hignight raped her twice when she was 18-years old.

Court documents accuse Hignight assaulted her in 2007 at a duplex near 35th and Quaker. At the time Hignight lived in the same building as the woman. The victim did make a report with the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center in may of 2007 but charges were not filed until much later.

He resigned from the Lubbock Police Department in January, 2011, just before he was arrested.
