Former Jacksonville cop charged with sex crimes against kids

Jacksonville, FL — A now-retired Jacksonville Sheriff’s Officer is facing multiple counts of sexual activity with children as a result of a sexual battery investigation. James Trejbal retired as a police officer with JSO in 1999.

The Sheriff’s Office says it has identified numerous incidents involving multiple victims, spanning many years. The investigation started only last month, when JSO was notified of possible sexual offenses that had reportedly happened years ago.  Additional victims were discovered, and JSO says recent sexual offenses were identified.

Trejbal is facing two counts of Capital Sexual Battery, 11 counts of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation on a victim less than 12-year-old, and four counts of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation on a victim 12 to 15-years-old.

According to JSO, all potential victims have been identified.  However, they are asking anyone who may have information related to this investigation reach out at (904) 630-0500 of Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
