The Boy Scouts have cut ties with a volunteer accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old.

Reeves County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 35-year-old Joseph McCormick October 14th. He’s charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first degree felony and indecency with a child by sexual contact, a second degree felony.

The arrest affidavits state that the victim was a female, though they did not go into detail on how she knew McCormick.

Reeves County Sheriff's officials said Tuesday morning that McCormick served as the Pecos Boy Scouts headmaster. However, Buffalo Trail Council CEO David Chapman said McCormick was a member of a Boy Scout Troop parent committee and was around was around children, but they are acting quickly.

“We’ve revoked his membership. I called all the parents and talked to the charter organization representative and reached out and let them know what we are doing to rectify that. We will set up a meeting to let them know the steps we take and remind them about our guidelines and how we ensure the kids are kept safe in the program. We have multiple adults present, no secret meetings, etc,“ said Chapman.

McCormick is now out of jail on a $70,000 bond.
