A long-time, well-known homicide investigator with the Harris County Sheriff's Office acknowledged engaging in "consensual sexual contact" with a key witness to the Aug. 28 shooting death of Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth, court documents obtained by abc13 show.

The witness is the same woman -- an eyewitness to the cold-blooded killing -- who said in court documents filed last month that she had a "romantic relationship" with Goforth "during the preceding 15 months, courthouse sources tell Ted Oberg Investigates.

The investigator, Craig Clopton, said in the court records that his sexual contact with the woman took place "during the ongoing criminal investigation."

Someone explain to me what the heck is going down? Who did what to who?

4. Goforth was killed:

The witness was a woman who was romantically involved with Goforth at the time. During the investigation of the killing, Cloport had a sexual encounter with that same woman.

Meanwhile, journalistic writing is dying.
