A Cornelia man is behind bars, accused of sodomizing a young boy.
Habersham County deputies arrested 49-year-old Carl Steven Combs on Tuesday, March 1, and charged him with aggravated sodomy. The child, who was under the age of ten at the time of the alleged assault, is related to Combs through marriage, officials say.
According to the warrant, Combs allegedly assaulted the boy sometime between January 1, 2020, and March first of this year. Investigators relied on evidence gathered in a forensic examination to bring charges against Combs.
