WIVB-TV is reporting that a suspended Niagara County Sheriff's deputy who was accused of rape will likely get the charges dismissed later today.

The station reported that Kevin Rohde is expected get a conditional dismissal of all charges. The Lockport native pleaded guilty to child endangerment in a 1999 rape case when he was still a juvenile.

If that's the case, Sheriff Jim Voutour will need to decide whether Rohde can return to duty.
