Former Pocahontas County Sheriff Indicted

Posted: Updated:

A former Pocahontas County sheriff's deputy and an ex-prosecutor are indicted on sex charges.

Former deputy Bradley C. Totten is charged with 21 counts of third-degree sexual assault and sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or custodian, and one count of sexual intercourse with an incarcerated person.

The indictment accuses Totten of having sexual contact with two minors and with a woman without her consent.

Former Assistant Prosecutor Lee Clifton II faces two counts each of second-degree sexual assault and imposition of sexual intercourse on an incarcerated person.

It wasn't immediately known whether the cases were related. A telephone call to the prosecutor's office went unanswered Friday.
