The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has arrested a community supervision officer for alleged sexual assault on a probationer.
On Friday, February 24, 2023, Department of Community Supervision Officer Bobby Evans, 57, of Thomson, was arrested and charged with two counts of Sexual Assault of a Probationer or Parolee and one count of Violation of Oath of Office by a Public Officer. Evans surrendered to GBI agents at the McDuffie County Jail.
The GBI began the investigation in July of 2022, after receiving a request concerning allegations made against Evans by one of his probationers. The investigation revealed that Evans had sexual relations with the probationer on at least two different occasions in McDuffie County.
The GBI investigation is active and ongoing. Once it is completed, it will be given to the Toombs Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
