The charges include second-degree rape, indecent exposure, sexual battery and embezzlement. Roberts has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is free on bond.
The investigation started after a woman filed a federal lawsuit alleging Roberts raped her following a traffic stop. Two more women later made similar allegations.
Roberts was suspended in July 2014 and resigned after his arrest.
