A federal probation officer in Redding is on the wrong side of the law. He's held on one million dollars bail accused of molesting three girls. 45-year-old Joseph Gama was arrested at his home in Redding around noon Wednesday, on five felony counts of molestation. A month-long investigation revealed that three female victims, ages 13, 16 and 17 reported that Gama had molested them.
