AUGUSTA COUNTY, VA (Rocktown Now) — The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office says that a Stuarts Draft man has been arrested on suspicion of having inappropriate relations with a minor.

Lieutenant Leslie Snyder said in a release that earlier this month, investigators launched a probe into a possible case of sexual abuse involving a child younger than 13 years old.

As a result of that investigation, deputies obtained a warrant for 38-year-old Joseph Emmanuel Trust. He was taken into custody without incident yesterday on one count of aggravated sexual battery.

Trust is held without bond at Middle River Regional Jail.
