Rome boy arrested for aggravated child molestation in PTC incident

Peachtree City police arrested a 14-year-old Rome boy last week for aggravated child molestation in connection with an incident that occurred here.

Although details of the allegations have not been released, police said similar charges were filed against the same child last year. The suspect received a two-year probation sentence in that case, which was adjudicated in Floyd County because state law required it be held in the county where the suspect resided.

The second case against the suspect was opened after detectives came up with more information about the suspect in recent days and weeks, police said.
