Former Missouri deputy charged with sexual attack of woman

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – A former Missouri deputy sheriff is charged with two counts of sodomy and one count of sexual abuse for allegedly attacking a woman he met online.

Matthew Hutchings is being held in Cole County

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley’s office announced charges Friday against former Gasconade County Deputy Matthew Hutchings. Hutchings does not have a listed attorney, according to Missouri court records.

The attorney general’s office says Hutchings was on duty in March when he assaulted a woman in her home. Hutchings later resigned from the east-central Missouri department.

The attorney general’s office prosecuted the case because the Gasconade County prosecutor cited a conflict of interest.
