An Athens County sheriff s deputy was arrested on Friday in connection to a sexual abuse case involving the family of a previously missing teen, prosecutors said.
Jimmy Childs, 52, is facing felony charges of tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice, according to a release from the Athens County Prosecutor s Office.
The alleged incidents occurred between May 18 and May 21, following last week s indictments of Robert, Deborah, Jonathan and Josiah Bellar on charges related to ongoing sexual abuse of children in the household, officials said. Childs is accused of deleting a record of a phone call with Robert Bellar during the execution of a search warrant, not informing any supervisor of the telephone call until after his phone was seized, deleting Robert Bellar’s contact from his phone and making a false statement during the investigation, the release states.
