Huizar and Rodriguez divorced in 2020 and share two children. Following the rape charges, Rodriguez filed to modify their custody agreement and had requested a protection order, because she believed he was a threat to her and their children.

Rodriguez claimed Huizar has been harassing her since the divorce and says he was mentally and emotionally unstable. He also owns guns, she said. 

It was unclear what the result of the case was, a hearing had been set for May 14.  

Huizar served with the police department between 2014 and 2022 and was assigned to be a school resource officer at Washington Middle School in Yakima. It was not clear where he was employed after he'd left the department.

On February 3, he was arrested after his 17-year-old girlfriend reported him for the attack on her 16-year-old friend who was staying overnight at their home in West Richland.

Huizar and his underage girlfriend have a baby who was nine months old at the time of his February court appearance, according to the Tri-City Herald.

The Tri-City Herald reported that Huizar secured a protection order against his teenage girlfriend in 2019 after she told friends they were in a relationship and the friends reported it to the school principal. 

The girl denied it and claimed her account had been hacked when social media posts about the alleged relationship were revealed.

'A criminal investigation was completed by the Attorney General's Office and the case was unfounded,' Huizar wrote in his petition for the protection order.

'(She) was then expelled from school.'

The petition claimed the girl had contacted Huizar's then wife, downloaded photos from the couple's Facebook pages, and taken 'numerous' covert photos of Huizar.

Yakima County Judge Gayle Harthcock approved the protection order that prevented the girl from coming within 500 feet of him or his family for a year. 

The girl claims in the court documents that Huizar contacted her in 2022 when she was 15 and they began a relationship. 

Their child was born in April last year, and the pair began living together in the West Richland home when she was 17. The age of consent law in Washington is 16 years old, though police have been investigating whether he slept with her before that.

In the most recent alleged rape, the 17-year-old girlfriend had gone to sleep in a spare room next to her 16-year-old friend who was feeling sick after all three had spent the evening drinking at the home on February 3, court documents record.

She then woke to find Huizar attacking her drunken friend before he left the room 'like nothing had happened', when she confronted him, according to the Tri-City Herald. 

Huizar was charged with second-degree rape, furnishing alcohol for minors, and third-degree rape over his relationship with the 17-year-old.

His bail was set at $200,000 but he has since bonded out of jail with stipulations that he doesn't contact either of the teens or consume any alcohol.

The opening date of his trial was set for Monday, according to a local NBC station. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Huizar's defense attorney for comment.
