Sean Maddox is charged with:
- Abduction with the Intent to Defile
- Rape
- Forcible Sodomy (2 counts)
- Threatening Bodily Harm (2 counts)

The police department began investigating Maddox after it received a complaint against him in April of criminal activity. Through their investigation, detectives said they found probable cause to charge Maddox, and arrested him Tuesday evening.
According to the arrest warrants, Maddox is accused of rape, abducting with the intent to sexually assault a person, and then trying to intimidate or threaten by writing messages to the victim. He is also charged with two counts of stalking.
Maddox has been with the department since February of 2008.
Maddox appeared via teleconference from Chesapeake Correctional Facility on Wednesday morning.
The judge continued his case to Friday morning, June 4, to give more time for his attorneys to contact the court.
Detectives have not specified how many victims were involved in this case.
The investigation remains ongoing, but the Chesapeake Police Department handed the prosecution over the Chesapeake Commonwealth's Attorney's Office.
