RUSK � A Cherokee County jailer has resigned and been charged with improper sexual activity with an inmate. According to KETK, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office says after a former inmate’s release from jail, she reported to a separate law enforcement agency that a jailer had engaged in improper physical contact with her during her time in jail. The other agency then contacted Sheriff James Campbell. Authorities say an investigation was immediately opened. Due to the serious nature of the allegations, the Texas Rangers were asked to assist in the investigation, according to officials. The jailer resigned at the start of the investigation.

On Monday, a Cherokee Grand Jury handed down an indictment on Jared L. Reamy, 25, of Jacksonville, charging him with improper sexual activity with person in custody.
