A Clarke County grand jury this week indicted an Athens man who authorities say tried to rape a 12-year-old girl three months ago while he was free on bond from a previous arrest for the alleged rape of an adult in 2013.
Though charged by Athens-Clarke County police with criminal attempt to commit rape for the alleged October assault on the girl, grand jurors on Tuesday returned an indictment against 28-year-old Jason Aragon that included counts of child molestation and sexual battery against a child under 16.
