Dallas Sheriff's Deputy On Leave After Sexual Assault Indictment

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A Dallas County sheriff's deputy was placed on administrative leave after he was indicted for sexual assault.

Rodney D. Bailey, 45, was indicted by a Dallas County grand jury for a sexual assault that allegedly occurred in Lancaster eight years ago.

Bailey is accused of performing a sex act on a male, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Debbie Denmon, a spokeswoman for the Dallas County District Attorney, said prosecutors were never notified when the original police report was taken in 2006.

A new detective was going through files, noticed the case had never been filed and notified the DA's office recently, she said.
