An 18-year-old Clarkesville boy is in jail accused of child sex abuse. John Michael Lumpkin faces four counts in connection with alleged incidents dating back to 2016.
The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation after Powerhouse for Kids contacted them about disclosures of the alleged abuse. According to the incident report, Lumpkin knew the alleged victim.
Habersham deputies arrested Lumpkin on November 27, 2020. They charged him with two counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of aggravated sodomy. A judge denied him bond. As of November 30, Lumpkin remained in the Habersham County jail awaiting his first court appearance.
