(Hall County Sheriff's Office)

Two men arrested earlier this year in a child molestation investigation now face charges involving two additional victims, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office says.

Reymundo Castillo, 60, and his son Edgar Jovanny Razo, 30, were arrested at their respective Gainesville addresses on Sunday, May 4.

According to authorities, the ongoing investigation determined that Castillo inappropriately touched a second juvenile female victim. The alleged offenses occurred between October 2015 and October 2017. The second victim is related to the first female victim, who was identified earlier this year.

Razo also victimized the second girl, according to investigators. Razo performed lewd acts in the presence of the girl between October 2017 and October 2022. In addition, Razo performed similar lewd acts in the presence of a third victim between May 2021 and August 2022. The third victim is an acquaintance of the other two victims, the sheriff’s office says.

As a result of the latest evidence, Castillo was charged with sexual battery of a child under the age of 16. He posted a $4,600 bond and was released May 6 from the Hall County Jail. Razo faces two counts of child molestation and remains in the Hall County Jail with no bond.
