Former Tennessee Department of Correction officer indicted on rape charges

Bryant L. Thomas, 30, turned himself in Monday and was booked into the Anderson County Jail on a $75,000 bond, according to TBI.

A former probation officer for the Tennessee Department of Correction has been indicted on rape charges.

Bryant L. Thomas, 30, turned himself in Monday and was booked into the Anderson County Jail on a $75,000 bond, according to TBI.

In February 2017, TBI Special Agents began investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against Thomas. At the time, he was employed as a probation parole officer at TDOC.

According to the TBI, agents developed information that Thomas initiated illicit sexual contact with a female probationer who he supervised.

The Anderson County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Thomas with one count of sexual contact with probationer or parolee and one count of rape last week.
