Alto man charged with child molestation

A Habersham County judge denied bond for an Alto man accused of sexually assaulting and exploiting a young girl.

Deputies arrested 25-year-old Edwin Huizar on January 6. According to the arrest warrants, Huizar allegedly molested the 13-year-old and “traded marijuana for explicit images from the victim.”

The alleged incidents occurred in 2021. The victim’s family notified Habersham County Sheriff’s investigators in December.

Following their investigation, officers charged Huizar with sexual exploitation of children, distribution of marijuana, child molestation, and aggravated sodomy.

He was booked into the Habersham County Detention Center where he remains without bond.
