Macon Police Officer Arrested on Sex Charges

MACON, GA -- Macon police say an officer has been placed on administrative leave after he was arrested on multiple sex charges in Houston County.

Police said in a statement released Friday that 33-year-old Antonio J. White of Warner Robins is charged with rape, incest, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, statutory rape, cruelty to children and child molestation.

Sheriff's deputies arrested White around 6:40 p.m. Thursday. He was being held Friday at the Houston County jail without bond.

Houston County arrest warrants allege that the crimes occurred between April 19, 2006 and Sept. 2, 2009.

White's lawyer, Clarence Williams, says the allegations are untrue.

White was hired as a Macon police officer in September 2007.

And of course, the scumbag was released on bond:

Macon police officer accused of sex charges granted bond

A Macon police officer indicted on multiple sex charges was granted a bond of $10,000, put under electronic monitoring and ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim, or any children under 18, Thursday at the Houston County Courthouse.

Antonio J. White, 33, of Warner Robins, was indicted Tuesday on charges of incest, rape, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, two counts of child molestation and cruelty to children in the first degree at a grand jury, said Houston County prosecutor David Cooke. Judge Edward Lukemire delivered the terms of the bond.

White was arrested Sept. 24 at about 6:40 p.m. in Houston County, according to the sheriff’s office. White is on administrative leave after his arrest, Macon police said Friday.

The Macon Police Department hired White in September 2007 and he was primarily assigned to patrol, according to police. The alleged incidents occurred between April 19, 2006, and Sept. 2, 2009, according to Houston County arrest warrants.

White’s attorney Clarence Williams said the charges the alleged victim made are part of a history of “inappropriate sexual contact.”

“There has been a substantial rush to judgment surrounding his guilt,” Williams said.

Senior Assistant District Attorney David Cooke argued against bond, citing White’s criminal background. White served eight years of probation for selling cocaine as a first-time offender and also was charged with driving with a suspended license.

Cooke also said the alleged victim was able to provide details about White’s genitalia that matched a search warrant photo.

“We’re concerned for the safety of the community,” Cooke said.

About a dozen family members and friends attended the bond hearing in support of White.
