Attorney Confirms Rowland's Indictment

Kevin Rowland, the former chief investigator for the Oklahoma medical examiner's office, has been indicted on four counts of sexual battery, his attorney says.

A judge in Tulsa County Thursday unsealed the indictment against Rowland but did not disclose any details of the document, saying that would have to wait for Rowland's imminent arrest.

Rowland's attorney, Scott Adams, confirmed the counts in the indictment.

Rowland surrendered late in the morning and was released on bail.

Rowland resigned as chief investigator in March amid allegations of sexual harassment.

A multi-county grand jury report accused him of sexually harassing female co-workers and being abusive. It said two women filed grievances that disappeared from official files.
