Cornelia man charged with aggravated child molestation in case dating back 5 years

A judge denied bond for a Cornelia man jailed last week for allegedly molesting a female relative five years ago.

24-year-old Michael Jurado-Vasquez was arrested on September 30, eight days after the alleged assault was reported.

On September 22, an officer with the Cornelia Police Department responded to a walk-in report of the assault, which they say occurred approximately five years prior at an address on Garden Gates Drive in Cornelia.

The juvenile victim reported she had been sexually assaulted by a relative, identified as Michael Jurado-Vasquez.

Investigators charged Jurado-Vasquez with two counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of false imprisonment.

Earlier this year, Jurado-Vasquez was arrested for attempted arson. He was jailed on April 16 after officials say he doused a barndominium on Crane Mill Road with gasoline during a domestic dispute.
