One of the charges says McElfresh, a sheriff's captain, arranged a meeting with a minor for the purpose of exposing her genitals or engaging in lewd and lascivious acts. The meeting allegedly occurred between Aug. 1 and Dec. 15 of this year.
He is also charged with a felony for supplying a firearm to a person prohibited from owning a firearm.
McElfresh, 57, appeared Thursday in Sutter County Superior Court in a striped jail uniform with "Yolo County Inmate" stenciled across the back. McElfresh, though booked into his own jail, was moved to Yolo County to avoid conflicts of interest.
Judge Brian Aronson kept McElfresh's bail at $5 million out of concern for public safety.
Court documents said the alleged victim's boyfriend confronted McElfresh in a recorded conversation.
According to a declaration in support of bail enhancement, McElfresh can be heard saying, "I know it was really bad." And he also said, "I have a problem."
Also, during the investigation, authorities were told McElfresh said if he were to get in legal trouble, he's "going to take out a lot of people," according to the declaration.
McElfresh did not enter a plea. Defense attorney Jesse Santana requested the arraignment be continued so he could file a motion to recuse the Sutter County District Attorney's Office from the case.
District Attorney Amanda Hopper said she spoke with the California Attorney General's Office, which did not see a conflict of interest.
McElfresh was arrested while working at the Sheriff's Department on Tuesday afternoon by Yuba City police. The Sheriff's Department learned of allegations about McElfresh last week.
