ATLANTA – Attorney General Chris Carr announced last week that Roderick Branscomb, 49, of Columbus has been indicted in Troup County on multiple counts of improper sexual contact by an employee in the first degree, improper sexual contact by an employee in the second degree, and sexual battery, among other charges.
From April 2021 through November 2023, Branscomb served as the program director of a methadone treatment clinic in LaGrange that provides services to those struggling with opioid use disorder. Over the course of his employment, Branscomb is alleged to have engaged in sexual misconduct with seven female patients who sought treatment from the clinic. This indictment follows a year-long investigation conducted by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Division, FBI Atlanta, the DEA Atlanta Division, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General.
