Repeat Sex Offender Rapes 11-year-old Girl

November 7, 2005
A man was arrested on Sunday in Texas City, and now waits in jail with a $350,000 bond. The steep bond was assigned due to the severity of the charge of rape, and to the man’s status as a previously convicted sex offender.

The 11-year-old victim was out with a family friend Friday night when their car broke down. Troy Norman Volk, 43, pulled up to offer assistance. After connecting the jumper cables, he told the girl to get into his truck and push the accelerator.

When the jump did not work, Volk drove off with the 11-year-old under the pretence that they were going to buy parts for the car. Instead, Volk drove to a nearby house where he raped the young girl. He then drove to a bank, where he dropped her off and drove away. The girl was treated at a local hospital before returning to her family at the end of this weekend.

Police tracked Volk’s truck down with the help of witness accounts. At the time of arrest, Volk was still on parole for sexually assaulting two 35-year-old women in 1985.
