Former Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper charged with rape told officials he had sex several times on duty

— A former Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper charged with second-degree rape told officials he had sex several times while on duty, a lieutenant said Monday.

Lt. Jason Holt testified at the preliminary hearing for Patrick Venable, 28, that the former trooper gave patrol investigators details about at least two other sexual encounters he had while he was working.

Venable, who has resigned from the patrol, is accused of taking a woman into custody about 4:35 a.m. June 20 on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, and then taking her to her house in Guthrie to have sex.

“He did not call in that stop,” Holt testified. Troopers usually call dispatch to report they're taking someone into custody or have a passenger in their vehicle, he said.
