(KLZA)--A former Wahoo, Nebraska police officer has resigned after being accused of beating, strangling and possibly raping two women.

Prosecutors have charged 28-year-old Juan Ramirez, Jr. with an additional two counts of third-degree domestic violence in Lancaster County.

The new charges come after Ramirez was charged on similar counts last week in Pawnee County with one count of first-degree sexual assault in the case.

According to an arrest affidavit from Lancaster County, a woman contacted deputies on Sept. 23 to report a series of abuses at the hands of Ramirez. She called after learning he was jailed the day before in a different domestic violence case.

The woman alleged Ramirez had beaten her in a variety of ways in the previous days, weeks and months. Deputies said the woman had been forced to engage in “violent sexual encounters.” They also think he strangled, aggressively bit and whipped her with belts and other objects. The alleged victim also alleged several instances of sexual abuse.

According to an arrest affidavit, the woman in the Pawnee County case suffered a large bruise to her head, stretching from her hairline down past her right eye. She said Ramirez hit her across the head with an open hand.

Authorities said the injury to her neck was swollen and that she suffered bruising to her chest, arms, wrist, legs and shoulder.

Following his arrest on Sept. 22, the Wahoo Police Chief Joe Baulder said he spoke with Ramirez Jr. over the phone on Sept. 24. A letter of resignation followed the conversation.

Two bonds have been set for Ramirez, totaling 10% of $140,000. He has posted bail for the Lancaster County case, but he remains in custody in lieu of his $100,000 bond in Pawnee County.

The charges in Lancaster County are misdemeanor counts, and he pled not guilty to both counts.

He is expected back in court on Oct. 20 and Nov. 6.

Ramirez had previously served more than 4 years as a Police Officer in Falls City.
