In 2015 Jesús ‘Jesse’ Menocal was accused separately by four women of sexually abusing them on the job. The case was sent to the state prosecutors and the Police Department, but he was never punished. The Justice Department is now investigating.

A new alleged victim is accusing recently fired Hialeah Police Department Sgt. Jesús Menocal Jr. of sexual assault, becoming at least the fifth woman to make such a complaint, the Miami Herald has learned.

The woman approached Hialeah police after Menocal was arrested by the FBI on Dec. 13, two sources familiar with the case told the Miami Herald. She said Menocal assaulted her several years ago when she was roughly 18 and is said to have an audio recording of the encounter, according to the sources. Hialeah police passed her information on to the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office and the FBI. Four women have previously accused Menocal of sexual assault, including two minors.

“The FBI has asked to take the lead on the new complaint,” said Ed Griffith, a spokesman for the state attorney’s office. “Since they already have an indictment pending that is similar in nature to the new complaint, we agreed to their request. We have offered the FBI our assistance if they request it.”


Jesús ‘Jessie’ Menocal Jr. posted this photo of himself on a social media site with the caption: ‘Character: It’s what you do when people aren’t watching. It’s how you act when you are hidden from public view.’

When the Herald asked the city of Hialeah for records relating to any new victims, the city clerk’s office responded that “the case is an open/active investigation. ... We cannot release any document until the case is closed.”

A spokesman for Hialeah police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Michael Grieco, Menocal’s defense attorney, could not be reached for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

Menocal was indicted in federal court last month on charges that he violated the civil rights of two women by detaining them and subjecting them to “non-consensual sexual encounters ... while he was acting in his official capacity as a police officer” in 2015. He has pleaded not guilty. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami, which is handling the case, said in a court filing that it has gathered 29,000 pages of documents and records, as well as cellphone and hard drive data.

Although Hialeah Police Chief Sergio Velázquez fired Menocal after his arrest, the allegations against the patrol sergeant first surfaced in 2015, when four women and girls accused him of sexual assault. State prosecutors declined to charge him, saying there wasn’t enough evidence and that the alleged victims lacked credibility. One of the women died months after giving evidence against Menocal when she tumbled out of a moving automobile. The two women cited in the federal indictment were among the four alleged victims who accused him of misconduct in 2015.

Additionally, Menocal sometimes brought young women to the police station, where they would accompany him to a private room without cameras, according to surveillance video and other records. The meetings were not documented, a violation of police protocols, a Hialeah police internal affairs investigation found.



A Herald investigation published the month before Menocal’s arrest raised questions about how Velázquez handled the internal investigation into the accusations. The Herald found that the chief brought Menocal back to active duty even before state prosecutors made their decision to decline to charge him. Velázquez also returned him to the SWAT team and approved him for a merit raise, even as he later sustained an internal affairs complaint, Hialeah police records showed.

Hialeah Police Chief Sergio Velázquez talks about his department’s actions in the case of Sgt. Jesús Manuel Menocal Jr., 32, who was arrested after a federal grand jury in Miami, Florida, returned a two-count indictment against him. He is accused of depriving two women of their civil rights. The news conference took place on Friday, Dec. 13, 2019. Pedro Portal PPORTAL@MIAMIHERALD.COM
The resulting scandal has led to criticism of Velázquez and his boss, Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernández.

After the Herald published its initial story, Velázquez defended his department, saying no “cover-up” took place.

And at a Tuesday city council meeting, Hernández responded by calling the Herald “racist” and “anti-Cuban.”

Velasquez is every bit as responsible as Menocal for allowing him to stay on the streets after the first 4 victims came forward. Even gave him a merit raise. I wouldn't even be surprised if Menocal was hooking Velasquez and/or Hernandez up with some of these underage girls.

These articles give the wrong impression that everyone out here was doing whatever they wanted. No certain people do whatever they want. The connected ones. The David Loriga ( taking Hubert fishing on city time) the weed head cantu the crash dummy Orfila the things they have done have gotten regular people fired. Oh and let’s not mention all the criminal stuff that the commanders do. Whatever who gives a shit ain’t nothing happening unless the Feds get serious and look into narcotics money and property room property going missing and all the other illegal things the chief does. I mean his damn secretary drives a take home with red and blues ! And her 38 boyfriend uses it and wears police shirts and he ain’t a cop. Relajo q tiene formao ustedes

Jesse, the games are over. Anther victim means a whole lot of legal defense discovery motions which means a whole lot of money which you likely don't have. .
If you ever want to see the outside world again after prison you are going to have to give somebody up. You will have a lot more negotiation leverage if you give up Hernandez. Think about it.

Remember the basic prison math: Pedophile + Cop = Shank.

Did the Chief think this all thing was going to go away? ..multiple victims all saying the same thing. This was not a 38 complaining about getting 39 or a someone b#tching about a ticket..
You have to be a retard in the day of #metoo to think this was not going to get someone's attention. Hell it ain't 1980 something. The latest complainant allegedly has it in on audio.

SWAT boy better flee to Cuba cause he is toast

Tomorrow this will be reported on the TV news stations. I would not be surprised if the resulting publicity caused other victims to come forward.

Oh wait. This was all manufactured by a racist newspaper! Sorry, I forgot.

Victim says she has the assault on audio. I would not doubt at all if the Menocal family at this very moment is planning to smuggle Junior out of the country. Maybe to Mexico where he can teach special weapons and tactics to the cartels.

I can't imagine she would lie about the audio recording knowing that the FBI would immediately intervene.

I attended the Menocal SWAT school years ago and that dumb ass only knows how to work out. Being an Airborne Ranger I can say his tactics are a joke and he would be doing the United States a favor if he taught them to the cartels. #RLTW
