Groom Pleads Guilty to Federal Charges

The Associated Press and KCTV 5 report that former Worth County Sheriff Bear Groom has pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal charges of depriving eight women of their civil rights by forcing them to expose parts of their bodies to him. In addition, prosecutors alleged that he took pictures of them as well. Groom served as Sheriff until he was ousted by Independent Candidate Terry Sheddrick in a three way race in 2008. He served for eight years.
