A Clarkesville man has been arrested on child molestation charges after allegedly attempting to molest an 11-year-old family member.
Randall Gene Mull, 35, of Clarkesville, was arrested Tuesday after the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office was informed of a February incident in which the girl accused Mull of making sexual advances toward her.
According to the incident report, the girl was asleep on Mull’s couch with his daughter on the night of February 19 when Mull allegedly picked her up and took her into his bedroom. He told her she should sleep in his room to keep her and his daughter from fighting. He allegedly made a lewd suggestion and grabbed the young girl’s hand to put it down his pants. The girl pulled away from him and left the house. She and her mother reported the incident to the sheriff’s office.
According to HCSO Public Information Officer Kevin Angell, when deputies attempted to question Mull after the event, he fled from law enforcement. A judge signed warrants for his arrest on March 15. Angell says he’s glad Mull has been arrested and can be brought to justice.
“It’s another child molestation case, and our special victims unit works very hard to bring these types of people to justice,” Angell tells Now Habersham. “We’re just happy that he’s been arrested.”
Investigators charged Mull with three felony counts including child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and probation violation. At the time of the alleged incident, he was on probation for obstructing and fleeing from a law enforcement officer.
Following his arrest on April 12, deputies booked Mull in at the Habersham County Detention Center. He’s being held there on a $44,200 bond.
