Following a six-month investigation, Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) criminal investigators have charged a Gainesville man with a sexual attack on a girl under the age of 16.
The investigation determined the sexual assault occurred on the night of January 13.
Investigators allege that Zachary Harley Wainright lured the victim into a restroom at a location in the 6000 block of Yacht Club Road in Flowery Branch, where he assaulted her.
The suspect and the victim were known to one another but were not believed to be in a relationship of any kind, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office says.
Wainright has been charged with sodomy and aggravated child molestation. He remains in the Hall County Jail without bond.
The investigation remains open.
