According to court records, the charges stem from an alleged incident in early 2015 and was investigated by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. Because of the nature of the charges and the age of the alleged victim, no other information was available.

Jefferson County Jail records show that Hogan was arrested last year on a third-degree domestic violence charge and at least two violations of the protection order issued in the case.

The jail website also shows that Hogan had a $15,000 bond, but does not indicate which case that is related to.

He is currently listed as a pretrial inmate with no bond.
