New sex charges dropped against registered sex offender
DAYTON — The Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office has dropped four sex charges against a former Dayton Human Rehabilitation Center guard who was convicted in 2002 of having sex with inmates.
David Sherrer Jr., 31, a registered sex offender, was indicted in March on four counts of gross sexual imposition of a person under the age of 13. He was accused of engaging in sexual contact with his girlfriend’s daughter, who was 8 at the time.
Sherrer’s trial was scheduled to start this week. The charges were dropped July 24.
Greg Flannagan, spokesman for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office, said he could not comment on why the charges were dropped because the case is still open. The investigation is continuing, and the charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled later, Flannagan said.
Sherrer, son of former Dayton Police Lt. David Sherrer, was accused of fondling the girl and making her do the same to him, according to police.
In 2002, David Sherrer Jr., then a guard at the DHRC, was accused of performing sex acts with three inmates. He pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual battery, was placed on five years of community control and ordered to register as a sex offender, according to common pleas court records.
