An 80-year-old man is out of jail on bond following his arrest earlier this week for child molestation.
Habersham County Sheriff’s deputies took William Donald Allen of Clarkesville into custody on Feb. 26. They charged him with two counts of child molestation.
According to the initial incident report, the victim was a young girl under the age of 16 whom Allen knew. Investigators say the case was brought to light after the girl’s parents found a note she wrote about the alleged abuse.
According to the report, the abuse reportedly took place over several years, between 2016 and 2022.
Following his arrest, Allen was booked at the Habersham County Detention Center and was later released on a $46,000 bond.
