(Tecumseh, NE) -- A Nebraska prison staffer is arrested on sexual assault charges.
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services says the Nebraska State Patrol arrested 33 year old James Cherry following an investigation into a reported sexual assault of a co-worker. NDCS says the investigation began when the State Patrol received a report of an assault that had occurred at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution in October 2022.
Cherry was arrested Monday at his home in Humboldt for first-degree sexual assault and third-degree sexual assault. Cherry has been lodged in Johnson County Jail.
