Authorities arrested on Tuesday a 30-year-old Athens man on charges of aggravated child molestation and 20 counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Joshua Dale Aiken was charged with the offenses under the state Family Violence Act, but further details from authorities were not immediately available Wednesday.
The victim of the alleged molestation was a family member, Athens-Clarke County police said. To protect the child’s identity, police would not disclose the child’s gender or age other than to say the victim was younger than a teen.
