FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested a former Forsyth County sheriff's deputy after they say he was "sexually involved" with an inmate in the jail. 

The GBI arrested 34-year-old Nicholas Maddox, of Dawsonville, for Sexual Assault by a Person of Supervisory or Disciplinary Authority. He was booked by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office and is out on bond. 

On May 26, 2020, the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office requested that the GBI investigate the allegations while he was working in the jail in 2015.  

The GBI said the case will be provided to the Bell-Forsyth Judicial Circuit District Attorney for prosecution once they are finished with the investigation.
