GBI: Richmond Hill Sergeant offered to dismiss charges in exchange for sexual favors

RICHMOND HILL, Ga. (WTOC) - According to the GBI, a Bryan County Grand Jury has indicted 56-year-old Robert Edward Littlejohn, of Richmond Hill, on charges of bribery, violation of oath by public officer, and making false statements.

On June 26, 2025, the Richmond Hill Police Department requested assistance from the GBI regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and extortion involving Littlejohn, a Sergeant with RHPD.

The request followed a June 21, 2025, report accusing Littlejohn of sexual misconduct. In response, the Chief of Police initiated an Internal Affairs investigation, and information uncovered during that process prompted RHPD to seek GBI involvement.

The investigation shows that a victim had been previously arrested by RHPD on charges unrelated to this case. After the victim’s release from jail, Littlejohn contacted the victim and offered to help have their criminal charges dismissed in exchange for sexual favors, the GBI says.

On November 14, 2025, Littlejohn turned himself in to the Bryan County Jail.

Littlejohn earned the title of sergeant in May of 2023.

The GBI conducted an independent investigation, which was then turned over to the Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.

Jail records show he bonded out for $10,000.
