Richmond Sheriff Woody accused of sexual battery
A special prosecutor has been assigned to investigate an allegation of sexual battery made against Richmond Sheriff C.T. Woody, a law-enforcement official confirmed tonight.
An adult woman made the allegation against Woody to Richmond authorities, and the matter later was referred to a special prosecutor, the official said.

"There's no merit to it," Woody said by phone tonight, adding, "I haven't been charged with anything that I know of."
He declined further comment. No further information was available. -- Reed Williams
