Former Property Crimes Investigator William Enders, 35, was charged Dec. 26, 2007, with sexually assaulting a woman in custody after being accused of soliciting sex from one woman and coercing a second to take off her clothes.
Enders was placed on administrative leave upon his arrest and was fired on Jan. 4. He has no pending appeals, according to the city's personnel department.
Assistant District Attorney Dorothy Hull said the third woman recently came forward, saying Enders took her to his office, located at the police department's Area 2 building on Pio Nono Avenue, while investigating her in March 2007.
"He got her alone and made her have sex with him and promised to drop the charges," Hull said, describing the allegation.
Enders has not been arrested on the new charge of sexual assault of a person in custody, she said.
Hull said the District Attorney's Office is continuing to investigate Enders.
He was released on $25,000 bond on Dec. 27, 2007, according to jail records.
The initial investigation was launched late last year after someone who had spoken with one of the first two victims contacted the GBI. The GBI then contacted the Macon police.
Details in a police report released in January allege Enders was dispatched to the Capital City Bank on Mercer University Drive on Dec. 19, 2007, to investigate a suspect who had allegedly tried to pass a counterfeit check.
After arriving at the bank, Enders took the suspect, a woman, into custody and back to his office. While interviewing the woman, Enders learned that there might be three other women involved in a possible check-scamming ring, according to the report.
Later in the day, another of the women under suspicion met with Enders at his office. While being questioned by Enders, the woman complained that she felt she wasn't free to leave, according to the report.
At one point in the conversation, Enders told the woman that he "could make things disappear if something could be done for him," according to the report.
When other officers later interviewed the woman about the conversation, she said she had asked Enders what he meant and "having sex with him" was mentioned, according to the report.
She told officers that Enders called her repeatedly later that evening, and she did have sex with him at her apartment "because she did not want to go to jail."
Another woman Enders was investigating told officers that Enders made her take off her clothes in his office with the lights out after stating that he could make her case go away, according to the report.
While disrobed, the woman told officers that Enders saw the woman's sister drive into the parking lot outside the police department, and he told her to put on her clothes, leave and not tell her sister what had happened, according to the report.
After the interview, the woman told officers Enders repeatedly called her "wanting to get together," according to the report.
Officers later outfitted one of the women with a wire and listened in when he met her at an Applebee's on Riverside Drive on Dec. 26, 2007. After listening to the conversation and observing Enders, officers arrested Enders.
Enders joined the police force in December 2003 and was transferred from his post as a bike patrol officer to a property crimes investigator Aug. 9, 2006, according to his personnel file. He was last assigned to Macon Police Area II, which includes north and west Macon.
