A Franklin County sheriff's deputy has been indicted on 32 counts of rape and 26 counts of gross sexual imposition.
The U.S. Marshal's Task Force arrested Charles Davis in Ross County on Wednesday.
The Franklin County Sheriff's Office placed Davis on administrative leave after it was made aware of the investigation in September of last year.
In a statement, Franklin County Sheriff Dallas Baldwin called it "an extremely serious manner."
"We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of conduct and accountability," Baldwin said. "I want to reassure our citizens that we are dedicated to transparency, professionalism, and, as always, the safety of our community.”
The sheriff's office is also conducting an internal investigation.
