At this time, Arnold remains in custody at the Detention Center as bond was denied on his charges. Arnold will appear before a Circuit Court Judge at a later time regarding his bond.
Deputies from the Uniform Patrol Division were dispatched to an address in Seneca around 7:43am on October 4th in regards to reports of an assault. The deputies met with the victim at that time and began an investigation that was turned over to the Criminal Investigations Division.
As the investigation continued and evidence was gathered in the case, it was determined that Arnold had entered the residence of the victim without consent and committed non-consensual sexual acts on the victim on October 4th of this year.
The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation. Due to the fact that the investigation is ongoing and to preserve its integrity and that of the victim, the Sheriff’s Office will not be releasing any further information at this time or any information that could in any way potentially identify the victim in the case.
