San Bernardino - A sheriff's deputy facing teen sex charges has been ordered to jail by a California judge because of a Facebook posting.
The San Bernardino County Sun says a judge questioned 31-year-old former San Bernardino Deputy Nathan Gastineau on Tuesday about the Internet message discussing revenge and payback.
Gastineau insisted it wasn't a threat, but the judge disagreed.
The judge raised his bail from $150,000 to $350,000 and he was handcuffed and taken to jail.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman says Gastineau posted bond and was released at about 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Gastineau pleaded not guilty on June 21 to six counts of lewd acts on a minor and unlawful sexual intercourse. Prosecutors say he had a relationship with the girl while he was coordinator for the Highland station's Explorer program.
