HAMPTON CO., SC (WTOC) -
A former Hampton County sheriff's
deputy was indicted on Thursday on several counts of child molestation charges.
A Hampton County grand jury
indicted 52-year-old Larry Heyward on one count of criminal sexual conduct with
a minor between 11 and 14 years old and committing a lewd act on a minor and
misconduct in public office.
Heyward worked for the Hampton
County Sheriff's Office and worked as a school resource officer. He was fired
after a male student came forward to report he had been abused several times between
August 2010 and December 2012, according to the Fourteenth Circuit
Solicitor's Office.

Division is investigating.
