Bethel Police Chief Arrested on Sexual Charges

Bethel’s police chief, Chad Esser, is facing explosive allegations after being arrested in Florida and extradited back to Clermont County on 56 counts of sexual battery and 14 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor — incidents allegedly occurring between 2005 and 2010 while he was teaching in Sharonville and volunteering with the Young Marines. The mayor has demanded his immediate removal, and the village council is set to vote on his termination. Esser, 44, was booked Thursday night and is expected in court Monday — all while on administrative leave. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
