Border Patrol Agent Andrew Smithson of San Diego was arrested in 2016 after sexually assaulting Brawley Police Det. Kali Orff.

Orff woke up to find Smithson had pulled her pants down and was sexually assaulting her. She punched him in the face and called 911. Smithson was protected by local police.

To date, Defendant Smithson has not been charged with any crime, and
remains free to work in a position of authority on the United States border, despite
confessing to the sexual assault.
20. Following the assault, Defendant IPD failed to submit Detective Orff s
case to the District Attorney's Office for over 100 days. This failure on the part of
IPD was the result of actions by Defendant Miguel Colon, Chief of Defendant IPD,
who made an active effort to interfere with the case.
21. Shortly after the sexual assault, Chief Colon called Detective Orff's boss
at the Brawley Police Department, and gave him the details of Orff's sexual assault.
During his conversation with Orff's boss, Chief Colon also accused Orff of being
immoral because of her sexual orientation. He further blamed Orff for being
victimized. In disclosing details about the assault that Detective Orff suffered, Chief
Colon violated Detective Orff's rights under the California Constitution, which grants
the victim of a crime the right to "be treated with fairness and respect for his or her
privacy and dignity, and to be free from intimidation, harassment, and abuse
throughout the criminal or juvenile justice process." Cal. Const. art. I, § 28(b)(1).
22. On or about May 16, 2016, Detective Orffs wife, Detective Kristol,
24 contacted IPD to get an explanation as to why Detective Orff's case had not been
25 submitted to the District Attorney. In response, Chief Colon contacted Detective
26 Kristol's boss, and began to divulge details of Detective Orff's assault to him and to
27 attack Detective Orff's character and fitness as an officer.
