JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – A former Missouri deputy sheriff is charged with two
counts of sodomy and one count of sexual abuse for allegedly attacking a woman
he met online.
Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley’s office announced charges Friday against
former Gasconade County Deputy Matthew Hutchings. Hutchings does not have a
listed attorney, according to Missouri court records.
The attorney general’s office says Hutchings was on duty in March when he
assaulted a woman in her home. Hutchings later resigned from the east-central
Missouri department.
The attorney general’s office prosecuted the case because the Gasconade County
prosecutor cited a conflict of interest.
