OROVILLE,
Calif. -
New
details in the arrest of a Butte County man who is in law enforcement charged
with lewd acts, sodomy, and child porn.
We
learned exclusively over the weekend that 28-year-old Jared Tomlinson is a
reserve officer for the Marysville Police Department and a reserve deputy for
the Sutter County Sheriff's office. Marysville Police has put him on
administrative leave.
Investigators
wouldn't give too many details about this case but they said that the incidents
happened in Butte County, and started eight years ago when the victim was just
14 years old.
According
to the Butte County District Attorney’s Office, Tomlinson moved in with the
victim's family on the outskirts of Gridley right around the time this started
happening.
Investigators
said Tomlinson took pictures of what he did.
Tomlinson
was arrested in uniform at the Sutter County Sheriff's Office on Thursday by
Butte County deputies.
Investigators
said only now, eight years later, did the victim decide to come forward.
“When the
victim became 22 [years old] is when the revelation came here and that's when
the Sheriff's Office did their investigation,” said District Attorney Mike
Ramsey.
Investigators
said Tomlinson has bailed out of jail. He’s due back in court on May 17.
