Fox News
Stephen Broderick, the former sheriff’s detective charged with killing three people, including his estranged wife and teenage daughter in Austin, Texas on Sunday, was accused by his wife in a protective order of raping their teenage daughter and she warned that he was dangerous and the family did not feel safe, according to court documents seen by Fox News.
In the protective order, Amanda alleged that her daughter approached her on June 3 and said her father, Stephen Broderick, "had been inappropriately touching her." Amanda said she took the girl to a children's hospital where they performed a Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) and alerted police. She said the teenager told her that her father had raped her on other occasions. "I'm afraid he will try to hurt me or [the] children, because these allegations have come out and he may lose his career," Amanda wrote. "Stephen has prior military experience and is SWAT trained. If he wanted to hurt someone, he would know how."More Related News
