Ex-Sheriff's Deputy Sentenced to 8 Years in Battery Case

Tulsa County Sheriff

A former Oklahoma sheriff's deputy convicted of sexual battery and indecent exposure has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

Gerald Nuckolls, an ex-Tulsa County sheriff's deputy, was sentenced Monday to four years on each count.

Last month, a jury convicted Nuckolls on one count each of sexual battery and indecent exposure. The jury also acquitted Nuckolls on one count of each of those charges.

After his arrest last year, a booking report indicated Nuckolls told detectives that "sexual-type activity" had occurred during encounters with about six women during traffic stops or on other calls.

Nuckolls also allegedly told investigators that he had exposed himself to several of the women and exchanged nude pictures with them.

Nuckolls' attorney had asked the court for probation in a Monday court filing.
