They terminated his employment. What more do you want?

(Charges) he did commit a crime

They have no duty to tell you anything while the investigation is ongoing.

Have you found a divorce attorney yet?

Understand about investigation but state troopers know nothing about incident with wife! They said they are investigating on detective but nothing my situation! But Sherrif said along with prosicuting atty that it handed over to state troopers

Why would he divorce his wife who was a victim of rape?

I missed where OP said the sex was non-consensual. Or is it always considered rape when a deputy has sex with an inmate?

If this is being investigated as a sex crime, it could well be that the victim's name is confidential. Law enforcement agencies are reluctant to provide names of victims to begin with, and in many states they can be prohibited from providing the names or details of investigations regarding sex assaults. What does your wife say about the incident?

It could well be considered rape because of the perceived power relationship even if the acts might have otherwise been consensual.

I would think so as the officer has power and control over the inmate.

Your wife should file a criminal complaint against the detective. She is the one who is the victim. You can be there for emotional support and can help her financially in hiring an attorney.

Could or not.

Could or not.

More than likely there is a sexual assault section that can and should be applied.

https://law.justia.com/codes/arkansas/2010/title-5/subtitle-2/chapter-14/subchapter-1/

Most the prohibitions exist against employees of the correctional facility. But, if the Detective is employed by the county and the county runs the jail, the Detective may well be guilty of First Degree Sexual Assault. If the OP's story is true, and this detective DID remove his wife for sexual activity - whether otherwise "consensual" or not, the SOB SHOULD be prosecuted. Whether he WILL be prosecuted or not will depend a lot on what the fie has to say.

EDIT: Nope, if sex happened it WILL be a felony offense as a law enforcement officer is a mandated reporter per 12-18-402(b)(13):

-----
5-14-124. Sexual assault in the first degree.

(a) A person commits sexual assault in the first degree if the person engages in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual activity with a minor who is not the actor's spouse and the actor is:

(2) A mandated reporter under 12-18-402(b) and is in a position of trust or authority over the victim and uses the position of trust or authority to engage in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual activity

EDIT Part 2: Oops! I missed the part about that section being related to being a minor (pointed out be Quincy). Though I am not going to continue scanning those statutes, or any related "color of authority" statutes, I have to believe that there is some offense that makes the actions of that "detective" a crime. Otherwise "consensual" or not, the act is reprehensible. As the Sheriff apparently related to the OP, the state police appear to have the case as would be the most appropriate way to have a criminal allegation of this sort investigated.

FWIW. In Arkansas, all county jails are run by the County Sherrif.
