Officer Accused of Sexual Battery

OCOEE, Florida

A Central Florida police sergeant is the target of a sex crimes investigation.

Ocoee police Sgt. Tom Maroney is accused of sexual battery but has not been charged with a crime, officials said.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office said detectives are looking into the case but refused to comment on the case because of the ongoing investigation.

The police chief was terminated after he was accused of borrowing prescription medication from another employee and then using it on duty.

Maroney has been placed on paid leave.
