REFUGIO – A Refugio County grand jury indictment alleges Goliad Independent School District trustee and former Refugio police officer Daniel Lee San Miguel used or displayed a handgun during two alleged aggravated sexual assaults of a child, stalked the complainant for two months and requested sexual favors while acting as a police officer.

A Gallatin County judge opted not to follow a plea deal calling for probation in the case of a 57-year-old man who pleaded guilty in June to witness tampering — a case in which the defendant was originally accused of assaulting his wife, Catherine Sorensen, in 2022. Sorensen taught music at St. Mary's Catholic School in Livingston before her death in 2023 at age 55.
