A longtime San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy was arrested Friday on suspicion of sexually abusing a child after an individual accused the deputy of molesting him during his youth.
Jeremie Russell Cox, 50, of Yucca Valley, was arrested on suspicion of the “continued sexual abuse of a child,”“It is extremely disturbing when a member of this department behaves in a manner that contradicts what we stand for as a law enforcement agency,” Sheriff Shannon Dicus said in the statement. “The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department will ensure this case is investigated completely and thoroughly.
The investigation began after an unidentified male reported that he was sexually abused by Cox as a child, according to the statement. None of the alleged abuse took place while Cox was employed as a deputy sheriff with the department, according to the statement. Gloria Huerta, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department, said no other information is being released at this time.
Booking details on the department’s website show Cox is being held in lieu of $750,000 bond on charges of oral copulation with a minor 14 years old or older and lewd or lascivious acts with a child who is 14 or 15 years old, in addition to a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child. Cox is scheduled to appear in Superior Court on Tuesday, according toCox is the second San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy to be arrested this year in sex crimes involving a child.
