Youth Claims Sheriff Threatened Them in Court Testimony
An 11 year old Virginia Beach youth testified that Chesapeake Sheriff John Newhart threatened him, forced a motel visit, and urged sexual acts on the night of May 1. The boy said he was grabbed, threatened with killing, and later pushed out as the sheriff claimed he was set up. Police described Newhart as intoxicated during the incident and testified to his nude appearance when answering the door at the motel. The defense contends the youth rode with the sheriff briefly, then left, while Newhart’s attorney argues the sheriff may have been drinking but did not commit the acts.
