A federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment Wednesday charging Christopher Stein Epperson, age 33, of Heber City with deprivation of rights under color of law for alleged sexual misconduct in his capacity as a Wasatch County Deputy Sheriff assigned to the county’s Department of Corrections as a jail guard. The charges stem from conduct alleged to have happened in December 2009 and follow an investigation by the Utah Department of Public Safety and the FBI. Two counts of the indictment charge Epperson with sexually assaulting an individual by committing or attempting to commit aggravated sexual abuse, depriving the victim of civil rights protections under the Constitution and laws of the United States. These counts, charged as deprivation of rights under color of law, carry a potential penalty of any term of years up to life in prison and a $250,000 fine per count. Read More. |
