A former Grainger County deputy has been charged with two counts of aggravated statutory rape and solicitation of a minor.
Trenedy Brooks was arraigned on Tuesday and released on a $60,000 bond.
The Grainger County Sheriff's Office arrested Brooks on Friday.
He had previously been put on administrative leave without pay in May of 2009, pending the outcome of a TBI investigation.
TBI spokesperson Kristin Helm indicates the bureau has an open investigation on Brooks, on "similar allegations" but noted it was a separate investigation that included TBI agents seizing a computer from Brooks' home.
Affidavits from investigating officer, Detective Jesse Jarnigan, indicate that the victim is a 16-year-old girl. Brooks is 27.
The affidavit of complaint indicates Brooks picked the girl up at least twice and took her to his home, where he had sexual intercourse with her.
