WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) - A Lincoln County sheriff’s deputy is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl he met at a neighborhood barbecue.

Thirty-four-year-old Zachary Dorr resigned his position Thursday when a judge set bond for him at $100,000 cash on three felony charges, including sexual assault of a child.

A criminal complaint says a co-worker saw Dorr kissing the girl and giving her beer at a wedding reception last weekend at a Wausau-area hotel. The complaint accuses Dorr of taking the girl to his home and assaulting her.

The complaint says the girl told investigators she met Dorr about a month ago at the neighborhood gathering and the two exchanged phone numbers. Court records do not list an attorney for Dorr.
