Three people have been indicted by a grand jury in Cherokee County, North Carolina, in separate cases charging them with child sex offenses.
A convicted child sex offender was arrested on new charges after the grand jury met June 4, according to a news release from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina.
Ricardo Gamez Dockery, 37, is under a $560,000 bond on a single charge of statutory sexual offense with a child and three counts of indecent liberties with a child, according to the news release.
The sheriff’s office received a report in April about a suspected child sexual assault and an investigation began, the release states. The Child Advocacy Center and state social services investigators helped gather information in the case.
Dockery is a registered sex offender, with a prior conviction on four counts of indecent liberties with a minor dating from 2008, according to the release.
