Etowah County, Al.
A Texas man charged with sexual torture was booked into the Etowah County Jail on Friday, Sheriff Todd Entrekin said.
Kevin Lynn Sweetin, 35, lives in Conroe, Texas, but lived in Etowah County in 2007 at the time he is accused of the sexual torture of a 10-year-old girl.
Sexual torture is a Class A felony and is described as penetration using an inanimate object, Sheriff's Office investigator Carla Carroll said.
Sweetin, a corrections officer at St. Clair Correctional Facility at the time of the incident, allegedly used his police stick and another object on the girl's private area.
The crime was brought to the attention of the sheriff's office on Sept. 1 and an investigation began. The girl was interviewed at the Barrie Center for Children.
Carroll said Sweetin was not employed in the law enforcement field at the time of his arrest.
Etowah County deputies assigned to the U.S. Marshals Service's Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force began an investigation to determine where Sweetin was living, and he was located in Texas, Sgt. Stephen Hooks said.
The task force contacted the U.S. Marshals Service in Houston and Sweetin was arrested on Oct. 3.
He was brought to Etowah County on Friday. He is being held on a $50,000 cash bond.
