Episode Details

Three North Texas firefighters, including two full-time employees, have been arrested on child sex crime charges for victimizing a 16-year-old junior firefighter at the Howe Volunteer Fire Department in 2022. The victim came forward in May, alleging assaults that occurred from January to March. The firefighters, David Perez-Glass, Dalton McCaslin, and Joshua Ryals, face charges of sexual assault of a child, claiming the acts were consensual. Their full-time departments took swift action, placing Perez-Glass and McCaslin on leave and Ryals resigning. The Howe department cooperated with authorities, handing the case to the Texas Rangers. Perez-Glass remains in custody, while McCaslin and Ryals posted bond. This case highlights concerns about trust in emergency services as the investigation continues.
