In the earlier case, Herbinger was arrested Oct. 9 after a young female victim reported the abuse to the School Resource Officer at her school. The chief said the victim is not related to Herbinger. The abuse, police said, is reported to have happened over the past two to three years.
Herbinger was charged with four counts of sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old. He was released from jail on $80,000 in that case. He is set to have a hearing on the child sex abuse charges Nov. 5.

"Family and friends rallied and posted his bond this (Friday) morning," said the attorney for the accused
rapist.
An Oklahoma City police officer charged with sexually assaulting at least eight women was released on $500,000 bond Friday two days after his bond was reduced from $5 million, even though a prosecutor said he was a danger to the community.
Daniel Ken Holtzclaw, 27, was released...on several conditions, according to Oklahoma County jailers and his attorney. He is under house arrest and can go only to court and his attorney's office. He must turn in his police gear, guns and badge and is prohibited from contacting any alleged victims.
He successfully petitioned on Wednesday to have his bond reduced.
Holtzclaw was arrested Aug. 21 and later charged with 16 felony counts that include first-degree rape, sexual battery, indecent exposure, stalking, forcible oral sodomy and burglary. He could face up to life in prison if convicted on the first-degree rape charge alone.

Oklahoma State Trooper Charged With Kidnapping and Rape: He Was Still on Paid Leave Two Months After Accusations Were Made
 |
| Accused Rapist: Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer Eric Roberts. |
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol arrested a state trooper...on complaints of kidnapping, rape and other crimes after three women alleged the officer sexually assaulted them while he was on duty.
Trooper Eric Roberts, 42, was arrested at his home in Sapulpa and taken to the Creek County jail. He was released Monday afternoon after posting $66,000 bail.
An internal investigation into Roberts began after a woman called the patrol on July 23 and reported that Roberts raped her after pulling over her vehicle, said Col. Rick Adams, chief of the Highway Patrol.
“This is obviously not a pleasant discussion for us to have, but we think it’s very important ... that the public has confidence in us knowing that we police our own,” Adams said. “This particular matter sickens us as an agency.”
Roberts has been suspended since July 24, when he was forced to turn over his gun and badge, and the patrol has started proceedings to fire him, Adams said.
Roberts’ attorney, Gary James, said his client is innocent.

Yet Another Oklahoma Law Officer Arrested for Sexual Assault

An Oklahoma sheriff's deputy resigned...after two women said he sexually assaulted them at a Tulsa County home while he was on duty, a case that comes on the heels of a state trooper and an Oklahoma City police officer being arrested on sexual assault complaints.
Tulsa County Deputy Gerald Nuckolls, 26, was arrested late Tuesday on complaints of sexual assault and battery and indecent exposure. He remained jailed on $125,000 bond Wednesday. It's not clear from jail records whether Nuckolls has an attorney.
Undersheriff Tim Albin said Nuckolls resigned after being placed on unpaid leave. Nuckolls hasn't been formally charged, and authorities believe there could be at least five more women who have yet to come forward.
"It's been a real punch in the gut for us," Albin said at a news conference. "There's a real sense of betrayal for us on this."
