Former Trumbull cop accused of using computer to stalk sex victim

BRIDGEPORT — A former hero Trumbull police officer who retired late last year following two domestic violence arrests regarding an affair he was having with a female officer he was training, has been charged with using a Police Department computer to locate a teenaged girl who had accused him of sexually assaulting her.

Michael Gonzalez, 40, who made national news in 2010 when he donated a portion of his liver to the hospitalized 15-year-old daughter of a fellow officer, surrendered at state police Troop F in Westbrook Thursday morning after being told there was a warrant for his arrest.

He was charged with third-degree computer crime and released after posting $75,000 bond pending arraignment in Superior Court here on July 11.

While state police said Gonzalez had been under investigation for allegedly sexually assaulting a teenaged girl who was in the Trumbull Police Department’s explorer program, they said it was determined that the statute of limitations on the charge that would have been levied against him, fourth-degree sexual assault, had already passed. The alleged sexual assault occurred in August 2017, police said.

During the investigation of the sexual assault complaint, state police said they determined that on two different occasions, March 17 and April 24, 2017, Gonzalez illegally utilized Trumbull Police Department’s National Crime Index Computer to search for addresses and vehicles listed to the complainant of the sexual assault.
