A former deputy sheriff has been arrested and charged for sexually abusing an eight-year-old male relative in Wisconsin.

Gary Aaron Huber, 34, who used to be a sheriff’s deputy with the Rock County Sheriff’s Office in the US state of Wisconsin, has been charged with one count of first-degree child sex assault, one count of repeated sexual assault of a child, three counts of child enticement, two counts of causing a child between 13 and 18 years old to view or listen to sexual activity, and three counts of exposing the genitals, pubic area, or intimate parts to a child.

Huber, who also used to be a US Marine, reportedly preferred to quit his job as a sheriff’s deputy rather than speak to investigators in the department after a complaint was made against him.

An unnamed man reportedly accused Huber of having sexually assaulted at least four of his relatives, according to the police.

One of his relatives, who was reportedly born in 1996, is said to have claimed that Huber allegedly molested him and gave him opiate patches.

The police said that they had spoken with four of the alleged victims. The disgraced police officer allegedly made his victims watch pornography and touched them in a sexual manner.

Huber allegedly continued to expose one of his victims, who was eight at the time, to pornography and would state that the boy might one day grow up to be a porn star. This abuse is alleged to have continued until 2016 when the victim was 15 years old.

Huber is alleged to have manipulated his victim by saying that all of his friends had died in combat in the army. He is also said to have screamed at his victim in a bid to intimidate him.

The abuse is believed to have taken place between January 2010 when Huber was discharged from the military and August 2016. The last incident is said to have involved a sex doll.

The alleged paedophile is also said to have made his victim, who has not been named to protect their identity, wear a thong and moon people while they drove around in his truck.

The investigation began when an older male relative first reported the alleged abuse. Huber was investigated by the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), given that he could not be investigated by his own colleagues at the Rock County Sheriff’s Office.

Huber was arrested in Fort Wayne, in the US state of Indiana, on Monday 13th December. His extradition to Wisconsin is currently pending, according to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office.
