'He wanted me to engage in sex': Alleged victim of former Warner Robins employee speaks out

Crystalyn Rorie said she met Warren Scott Hicks when she was going through a hard time. Hicks apologized to his family earlier Thursday for his 'lapse in judgment'

UPDATE: Thursday, 7:45 p.m.

One of Warren Scott Hicks' alleged victims came forward Thursday and spoke with 13WMAZ's Zach Merchant.

Hicks, formerly of the city's utilities department, resigned Wednesday after a video surfaced online that appeared to show him receiving oral sex from a woman.

Crystalyn Rorie said her and Hicks made contact five years ago when she was living at the Tanglewood Apartments.

"I was getting evicted... I was going through a hard time in life," Rorie said.

According to Rorie, Hicks arrived at her doorstep and offered to help delay her eviction, but for a price.

Hicks was a constable for the Houston County magistrate court at the time.

"He wanted me to engage in sex. He wanted me to have sex with him," Rorie said.

Rorie says she never had sex with Hicks and called the Houston County Sheriff's Office soon after to report him.

But the situation left Rorie wondering who else he may have tried this with.

"How many other people has he done it to? How many other people has he gotten away with it?" Rorie said.

Court documents say Hicks admitted to having sex with two other women he was serving papers to in 2013, which included working out a deal to delay eviction for one of them.

Rorie says if she could talk to Hicks now, she knows what she'd say.

"You should be really sorry for yourself to use your authority to manipulate people in a vulnerable state," Rorie said.

Mayor Randy Toms said the city did what it was supposed to do in conducting a criminal background check on Hicks, but he is not sure how his previous indictments were missed.

Warren Scott Hicks says he's sorry for the "lapse in judgment" that cost him his job with the city of Warner Robins.

In the video, Hicks was wearing a city of Warner Robins employees' shirt and standing next to a city utility truck.

13WMAZ's Zach Merchant spoke to Hicks at his home Thursday.

He declined to speak on camera, but said what he did in the video was wrong.

He called the incident "a lapse of judgment" and said if he could go back, he wouldn't do it again.

Hicks also said he's sorry to his family and his "church family."

Five years earlier, Hicks resigned from his job as a Houston County magistrate court constable after allegedly offering to delay a woman's eviction in exchange for sex.

He was originally charged with pandering in 2013, but that charge was dropped. He was convicted of violating his oath of office.

In 2014, a Houston County judge placed Hicks on five years' probation and said he could not take another government job in that time. A judge released him early from that probation in 2017.

On Wednesday, Mayor Randy Toms said he didn't know why Hicks was hired and he planned to investigate the hiring process.

Hicks said he wasn't sure what he'd do for work next.
