TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee man is facing charges in Alabama after being arrested for first degree sexual abuse.
Patrick Cox, 23, was taken into custody by Cherokee Sheriff's Office investigators on Thursday, November 16.
The Sheriff's Office says the investigation stemmed from an incident which allegedly occurred while a group of college students from Florida were visiting the county.
The complaint document alleges that on November 11, 2017, Cox assaulted a "physically helpless or mentally incapacitated," victim.
They say the victim reported the crime with the Tallahassee Police Department and detectives notified the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.
Cox was transported to the Cherokee County Detention Center and charged with first degree sexual abuse.
He has since been released from jail.
