A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy is scheduled to appear in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday, April 12, following his arrest for allegedly engaging in sexual acts with a child.
Deputy Sean Essex, 51, was arrested Friday, April 8, and booked on one charge each of lewd/lascivious acts with a child under 14 years and oral copulation with a child under the age of 14, according to Deputy Brenda Serna of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Further details on the crimes Essex is alleged to have committed were not available.
Essex has been released from jail on bond.
“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department expects all of its members to hold themselves to the highest ethical and professional standards at all times,” the department said in a statement.
“Department members who engage in misconduct, especially criminal misconduct that preys on a vulnerable population, will not be tolerated and will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

An ex-police in jail for touching kids. That should be fun.

His pension will be more than enough to make him popular.
Brett Mastema says
I’m surprised that isn’t just ignored like the rest of the claims brought up about deputies. Doesn’t matter how many bad things come up, people make excuses for them and accuse the victims of lying.
FWB says
Probably not his first time. Cops are dangerous and should be avoided.
AV Resident says
What’s the matter? You get a ticket for Jay walking?
Please don’t lump all law enforcement in one pile.
Tim Scott says
Why not? Cops cover for each other indiscriminately, why shouldn’t we lump them all together?

The moon fell from the sky and then it landed in my yard. I saw Martian’s playing poker at my grandmother’s house. Jesus Christ cooked Thanksgiving for my family. Evidence is required before assumptions.

Were you by chance investigating some hallucinogen traffickers?
