A former Hampton County
Sheriff's Deputy was indicted on Thursday, February 21 on several counts
related to the molestation of a student. The Hampton County Grand Jury
indicted 52-year-old Larry Heyward on one count of criminal sexual conduct with
a minor between 11 and 14-year-old, committing a lewd act on a minor and
misconduct in public office.
Heyward was employed by the
Hampton County Sheriff's Office, where he worked as a school resource officer
at the time of the incidents. He was terminated after a male student came
forward to report he had been abused on multiple occasions between August 2010
and December 2012. The State Law Enforcement
Division was called in to investigate. That investigation is still ongoing
Now that indictments have
been handed down, the Fourteenth Circuit Solicitor's Office will move forward
with preparing the case for trial. As with all defendants,
Heyward is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Officials say an unidentified female came out of the moving car and was struck and killed by a Freightliner tractor-trailer headed southbound in the next lane.
