US border guard told women to show him their breasts to get into the country: government
A U.S. border patrol agent has been charged with asking women to show him their breasts when entering the country, federal authorities said.
Shane Millan, 53, has been charged with four counts of violations of law, federal prosecutors in the Northern District of New York said in a press release on Thursday. He intentionally deprived four women of their constitutional right to evade unreasonable searches, prosecutors said.
During the virtual hearing to enter the United States, according to prosecutors, Millan asked three women to “show him their bare torsos” via webcam and asked a fourth woman to expose her breasts to him without losing her bra.
Millan made the demands “for his own satisfaction” and lied to the women, claiming he was conducting lawful searches, prosecutors said.
After Millan was arraigned in Syracuse on Thursday, he was released pending trial.
USA TODAY contacted Millan’s defense attorney at the federal prosecutor’s office on Friday but did not receive a response.
USA TODAY also reached out to the Border Patrol to see if Millan was still employed, but had not received a response as of Friday afternoon.
