BANNOCK COUNTY, Idaho — A Bannock County Sheriff's Office Deputy has been charged with two counts of sexual battery of a minor and placed on administrative leave. According to court records and the Bannock County Sheriff's Office (BCSO), Trevor A. Ranere is facing up to 50 years in prison if he is convicted.
BCSO issued a statement that Ranere was put on administrative leave on June 26 and made to turn in his weapon and badge. Sheriff Tony Manu said the bravery of the young woman for coming forward should be commended.
"This is a sad day for me, as Sheriff, and for the men and women of this office who serve this community with dedication and honor every day. This incident should not reflect on them and their good work," Manu said.
Ranere is scheduled to be in court on July 10 at 1:15 p.m.
