The GBI began the investigation in July after receiving a request concerning allegations made against Evans by one of his probationers.

Investigators found that Evans had sex with the probationer at least two times in McDuffie County.

Their investigation is ongoing and will be given to the Toombs Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution once it is complete.
