Sheriff Deputy Investigated for Sex with Teen Boy

A Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputy is being investigated after reports that he had sex with a teenage boy he met on the Internet.

Another man, from West Carrollton, was arrested in the case after the 17-year-old said he engaged in separate sexual encounters with both men.

The sergeant, whose name was not released, has been placed on medical leave while the case is investigated, and he has not been charged with anything.

Warren County is handling the investigation into the deputy because the alleged incident occurred there.

Deputies arrested 49-year-old Kevin Hetzer on three charges – unlawful sexual contact, pandering obscenity and pandering sexually-oriented material – after searching his home Thursday.

Investigators said Hetzer owns a transportation company and often travels out of state with youth groups in the community.

The boy said he met Hetzer through craigslist.org, investigators said, and is currently undergoing treatment for drug addiction, where he told a counselor about the alleged encounters.

Authorities said the teen likely had sexual encounters with other area men.
