) — An arrest warrant sheds new details on an East Texas man accused of ********* assaulting a child his wife was babysitting.

According to records, Smith County deputies responded to a medical center on Feb. 13 after a child had reported being ********* assaulted. Officers spoke with the mother who said her daughter confessed to her the previous day she had a secret, but the mother did not think much of it.

During a forensic interview, the child described deviant ******* activity performed on her by Couey and gave detailed information by using male and female anatomy drawings.

Couey reportedly gave her $5 for the book fair and told the girl to keep it a secret. The mother said, the child did come home from school the following day with a book from the book fair even though she had not given the child any money.

Since then, Couey has been arrested for aggravated ******* assault of a child under 14 and remains in the Smith County Jail on a $700,000 bond.
