Search warrant details messages Texas officer allegedly sent cop posing as teen: 'I will marry you'

HOUSTON -- A veteran Texas police lieutenant is accused of broaching pregnancy and marriage with an undercover cop posing as a 15-year-old girl, a newly released search warrant reveals.

The Houston Police Department's Quoc Viet Ngo, 50, was arrested last Friday and charged with online solicitation of a minor after the Precinct 1 Constable's Office said he showed up to meet the girl following a series of graphic chats online.

According to the search warrant, the investigation began on April 1. Ngo, posing as a 28-year-old, allegedly messaged the undercover cop to ask, "Are you cool & open-minded?"

Investigators say Ngo made it clear he thought he was talking to a 15-year-old, writing, "Boo, it's risky because ur 15" and "Damn ... fine, I'm gonna make an exception ... Are you attracted to Asians?"

The constable's office said Ngo sent explicit photos of himself and asked the girl to do the same. According to the warrant, he told her, "Whenever I feel naughty, I just want to look at you."

He's also accused of sending a "comfort level" questionnaire with a list of intimate acts, asking: "What are you good at from the list?"

At one point, investigators say Ngo broached the prospect of pregnancy, writing, "If you get pregnant by me, then I will marry you."

Ngo asked the girl for her parents' work schedules and whether they had any cameras installed in their home, according to the warrant.

When he showed up for their meeting, investigators say he brought condoms, alcohol, gummy bears, and donuts as well as a gun and ammunition.

Following his arrest, Ngo was relieved of his post at Hobby Airport.

He's since been released from jail on bond but has been ordered to stay away from anyone under the age of 17 and to stay off the internet.

Our Houston sister station, ABC13 Eyewitness News, reached out to Ngo's listed attorney, Dick DeGuerin, for comment. He said, "This was a setup from the get-go."
