CINCINNATI (WXIX) – A day after being indicted, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was released on bond after pleading not guilty to the charges.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Andrew Golobic, 51, of Cincinnati, was indicted Thursday for allegedly sexually assaulting immigrant victims, according to court documents.
On Friday, he was given a no amount own recognizance bond with conditions that include pretrial supervision and GPS monitoring, court filings show.
Golobic worked as a deportation officer with ICE assigned to the Blue Ash office from 2006 to 2020.
Golobic supervised the female victims as part of his role with the Alternatives to Deportation Program, the indictment said.
ATD allows certain asylum seekers and other immigrants who ICE determined to be a low risk to public safety to remain in their communities while their case is pending.
According to the indictment, Golobic allegedly kidnapped and sexually abused the victims over the course of about two years.
Golobic allegedly directed an individual to make misleading statements to another person to prevent reporting Golobic’s actions to ICE, according to the indictment.
Court documents say Golobic “deleted certain applications, image files, and messages on his phone with the intent to impede, obstruct, and influence a matter within the FBI’s jurisdiction,” following his interview with federal agents.
A federal grand jury indicted Golobic on seven counts:
Golobic, who pleaded not guilty, could face life in prison if convicted on all charges.
Anyone with information about the allegations against Golobic can call the tipline at (513) 979-8353 or email ICEOfficerComplaints@fbi.gov.
