A former Tennessee sheriff’s deputy who was charged with raping a 14-year-old girl has accepted a plea deal, meaning he will not go to trial and face jail time or have to register as a sex offender, court documents show.

Brian Beck, a former deputy with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, pleaded guilty last week to a lesser charge of aggravated assault — a felony — nearly four years after he was indicted on two counts of rape and two counts of sexual battery by an authority figure, according to the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors said the “sexual activity” occurred over a 20-month period starting in 2016, when the victim was 14, according to a 2018 statement from the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office, which was obtained by Law & Crime. In Tennessee, the age of consent is 18.

Beck, 47, of Germantown, Tenn., was sentenced to three years of probation, which includes 150 hours of community service, random drug testing and refraining from contacting his victim, according to the probation order. If he violates his probation terms, he could serve four years in prison. Felony aggravated assault in Tennessee typically carries a prison term of 2 to 15 years.

2. Same prosecutor who got a six year conviction

for a woman trying to vote while on probation even after the TDOC said it was ok.

By the way that case has an apparent Brady violation and the conviction was been thrown out.

3. Personally

I think this guy's picture should be published EVERYWHERE, just like Brock Turner's was. He's a fcuking RAPIST and a SEX OFFENDER and he trashed this child's life.
