The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested a former Campbell County deputy after he was indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges of the sexual battery of a minor.
Daniel Ward, 36 and of Jacksboro, was indicted on 16 counts overall. The indictment includes 10 counts of aggravated sexual battery of a minor under the age of 13, two counts of attempted aggravated sexual battery of a minor under the age of 13, two counts sexual battery by an authority figure, and two counts of sexual battery.
A Campbell County grand jury handed down the indictment on Monday.
The TBI began investigating the allegations against Ward in December, after a request by the district attorney.
Ward is accused of sexually molesting one victim numerous times between October 2003 and March 2009.
He's been booked into the Campbell County jail on $25,000 bond.
While employed with the sheriff's office, he worked as a corrections officer and a patrol deputy.
