Sexual conduct with minors alleged against Salem man

Charges of criminal sexual conduct with a minor have been placed against a young Salem man in two separate incidents that the Oconee Sheriff’s Office says date back as far as last summer.  The Sheriff’s Office yesterday announced the arrest of 19-year old Austin Tyler Hendricks on charges of criminal sexual conduct with minors first and second degree.  A child/elder investigator entered the investigation after a mandated reporter contacted the sheriff’s office.  According to the sheriff’s office, the children involved are in a safe location.
