AMADOR COUNTY (CBS13) – A former California Highway Patrol officer from Amador County is facing charges of molesting a 12-year-old girl, according to a CBS 13 report.

Joslin, a Pioneer resident, was booked into Amador County Jail. He's facing charges of oral copulation with a minor under 14 by means of force or fear, penetration with a foreign object of a minor under 14 by means of force or fear, rape by means of force or fear, lewd acts with a child under 14 by means of force or fear, and continuous sexual abuse of a child.
The sheriff's office says Joslin is no longer employed by CHP.
