A Delaware County Grand Jury has returned an indictment against 31-year-old Eric S. Jaynes of Sunbury. Jaynes was a full-time corrections officer in Delaware County at the time of the alleged offenses.
Charges come after a May 18, 2018 call to law enforcement.
“The report came in as a possible sex offense involving a student at the Delaware Area Career Center, South Campus,” said Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O’Brien. “An investigation was opened into Eric Jaynes, a corrections officer who voluntarily served as a physical training instructor each week, conducting drills with law enforcement students.”
Jaynes is charged with pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor – a second-degree felony, 10 counts of sexual battery – third-degree felonies, and one count of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles – a fifth-degree felony. The indictment specifies a timeframe of January 1, 2018 through May 18, 2018.
“The investigation into Jaynes is ongoing,” said O’Brien. “Anyone with information is asked to call the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau at (740) 833-2835 or email csloan@co.delaware.oh.us.”
An arraignment date is not yet set.
