A Cleveland man arrested earlier this year on charges of aggravated sexual battery and child molestation has been convicted and sentenced for the crime in Hall County Superior Court.
Hall County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Charles Daniel Gee in January for the sexual molestation of a 9-year-old child between August 21 and August 22, 2020, at a home in the 3000 block of Ga. 369/Browns Bridge Road.
Charles Gee, now 30 years old, was convicted Wednesday by a jury of seven women and five men after the panel spent just 15 minutes deliberating the evidence.
Hall County District Attorney Lee Darragh said that presiding Judge Jason Deal sentenced Gee to a life sentence with 28 years to serve on a charge of aggravated sexual battery and 20 years with 15 to serve on a charge of child molestation. Darragh said those sentences will be served concurrently.
At the time of the arrest, authorities said Gee was acquainted with the female victim.
