Bexar County Sheriff’s Office: Photographer accused of drugging and sexually assaulting woman during photo shoot arrested

SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) – The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man on charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted a woman during a photo shoot.

According to BCSO, 48-year-old John Lill, a professional photographer, was hired by the victim to take boudoir photos.

When she arrived at his home for the photo shoot, Lill is said to have told her that no one was allowed to wait outside because the photography took so long.

The victim tells officers that she was given a glass of wine by Lill and lost consciousness.

She says when she woke up she thought she had been attacked by Lill.

The victim called BCSO on Saturday, May 4, to make a report.

The officers then went to Lill’s house to speak with him, but had to wait for him to return.

During questioning, Lill allegedly told investigators that the encounter with the victim was consensual. But the victim disputed Lill’s claim and he was arrested for second-degree sexual assault.

Now the sheriff’s office is asking anyone else who may have been a victim of Lill to call 210-335-6000.
