Daniel T. Herod, 41, has been employed with the sheriff's office since May of 2010, most recently as a deputy correctional officer at the Will County Adult Detention Facility, the sheriff's office said.
Will County court records show a case was opened for Herod Friday on charges of predatory criminal sexual assault of a victim under 13 and criminal sexual assault of a family member under 18, dating back to 2021. He has pleaded not guilty to the sexual assault charges.
A grand jury has now indicted Herod on a charge of possessing child sex abuse material.
