Years later, Ohio man charged for 2012 sexual assault outside Porter bar

The Courier - 6/25/2017

It took years of waiting, but detectives finally believe they know who sexually assaulted a woman outside a Porter bar in 2012.

Detectives with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office had few leads on the case other than DNA evidence collected from the female victim on the day of the attack at the Porter Sports Bar and Grill in the early morning hours of Sept. 1, 2012. That DNA did not match anyone in a nationwide law enforcement database until Dec. 28, 2016, court documents show, when detectives learned a man arrested in Ohio was a possible match: David Lee Bradley III, a 27-year-old former New Caney man.

Montgomery County grand jurors indicted Bradley on one first-degree felony aggravated sexual assault charge Tuesday, accusing him of sexually assaulting the woman. When first becoming a suspect, Bradley was booked in the Columbiana County Jail in Ohio on an unrelated charge. Court records show he lived in New Caney at the time of the assault, although he told detectives he had never been to the bar.

However, the bar requires its patrons to be members of the bar who have to swipe a custom ID card each and every time they enter, detectives said. Court records show Bradly's card was swiped at least twice ? once on the June 15, 2012 and again on the night of the assault.

Although he initially matched the DNA already in the system, MCSO detectives wanted to perform another DNA test, to which Bradley refused. A judge eventually signed a warrant forcing Bradley's DNA to be taken and tested, court documents show.

Detectives say he was again a match to the DNA taken from the woman on the night of the attack.

Bradley will be back in Judge Kathleen Hamilton's 359th state District Court for an information hearing July 13. He could face up to life in prison if convicted.
