BALDWIN COUNTY, Ga. — A Baldwin County jailer has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting an inmate, according to a press release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
They say Emmanuelle Edward Robinson, 25, of Macon turned himself in last Wednesday on charges of sexual contact by a person with supervisory disciplinary authority.
According to a press release, the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office received reports that Robinson sexually assaulted an inmate at the Baldwin County jail. On Sept. 12, they say the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office asked the GBI to help with the investigation.
Then, on Dec. 6, Robinson turned himself into the Baldwin County Detention Center, the GBI says, where Robinson once worked as a guard.
In a phone call, a representative of the sheriff's office said that Robinson has since been released.
The GBI says that the investigation is ongoing and, once completed, the case file will be handed over to the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office for prosecution, the press release said.
