A second young victim has come forward with allegations against a former Mesa police officer who now faces 30 child molestation-related charges in Pinal County.

Justin Bowman, 30, was on the verge of being fired when he resigned Sept. 18, 2008, as an officer with Mesa police, internal documents show. The following month, Maricopa police arrested Bowman on suspicion of molesting a girl under 15 years old.

In November 2008, a Pinal County grand jury indicted Bowman on 12 molestation charges. Those charges were thrown out but then refilled Sept. 10 after a second victim came forward, court documents show.

The indictment has since grown to 30 felony charges, including five counts of furnishing obscene or harmful items to minors; seven counts of child molestation; 15 counts of sexual conduct with a minor; and three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Both victims, a boy and girl, were under 15 years old when the alleged molestation occurred between March 1 and Oct. 29, 2008, court documents show.

The molestation stopped the day Bowman's wife called police, saying he was suicidal, Maricopa police said at the time. While at their Maricopa home, investigators learned Bowman was allegedly molesting children inside the home.

The young girl told police Bowman showed her nude photos of her stepfather and mother, had sex with her, and performed other sexual acts on multiple occasions, court documents state. The second victim to step forward, a young boy, raised similar allegations.

Some of the alleged events occurred inside each of the young victim's bedrooms, in Bowman's vehicle, the garage and aboard a boat, the complaint states.

Bowman is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 2.

Before Bowman's legal troubles began, he was being investigated internally by Mesa police.

Police documents show Bowman was facing discipline for a number of issues from failing to turn in required paperwork to failing to show for up for duty. At the time of his resignation, Bowman faced three written and two verbal reprimands, and three 10-hour suspensions, according to police records.

Bowman offered no reason for his departure in his resignation letter.
