Kentucky State Police at Post 1 Mayfield has arrested a Calloway County man for multiple sexual offenses.
Post 1 reports said the offenses reportedly occurred in Calloway County and Trigg County.
On Tuesday, Post 1 was contacted by the Murray Police Department requesting State Police to investigate allegations of sexual abuse against one of their officers.
Through the initial investigation, detectives learned that 44 year old Murray Police Detective Sergeant Justin Swope, of Almo, met the victim in his official capacity in 2018 when the victim was 15 years old.
The female victim disclosed to State Police detectives details of multiple sexual encounters with Sgt. Swope that occurred when she was a juvenile.
On Wednesday, Post 1 detectives and supervisors made contact with Sgt. Swope concerning the allegations.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of third-degree rape and one count of third degree sodomy in both Calloway and Trigg County.
Sgt. Swope has since resigned from the Murray Police Department.
