A 26-year-old sheriff's deputy is charged with having sexual contact with an inmate at the City Justice Center.
This was the January incident that led to another deputy putting a jail administrator in handcuffs. James Short turned himself in at police headquarters Thursday.
He is no longer with the sheriff's department.
Detainees cannot legally consent to sex with a law enforcement officer. He was previously charged after a two-year-old family member shot himself with Short's service pistol.
St. Louis prosecutors charged Short with two counts of sexual conduct in the course of public duty.
