A former Madison County sheriff’s investigator has pleaded guilty in a child molestation case and was sentenced to one year of probation.
Roland Campos, a longtime investigator, resigned after being charged with sexual abuse last year. Campos, 64, pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor sex abuse charge, and prosecutors agreed to dismiss the second charge, which is a felony.
Because Madison County’s judges recused from the case, Campos was sentenced by Jackson County Circuit Judge John Graham. Graham sentenced Campos to one year in jail but suspended that sentence for one year of supervised probation, court records show. Campos also is required to register as a sex offender.
One year in the county jail is the maximum sentence for a misdemeanor. The felony, which was dismissed, carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
