A Lawrenceville man remains in the Hall County Jail following his arrest this week for child molestation.

Jordan Micah McLain, 26, was booked into the Hall County Jail on Monday, December 11, following his arrest in Catawba County, North Carolina. Investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) had been searching for McLain since warrants were issued for his arrest in March of this year, an HCSO spokesperson says.

Investigators charged McLain with felony child molestation after a seven-month investigation into a reported assault on a female child under the age of 16. The alleged crime occurred in February 2017 and was reported to law enforcement after the child told a family member.

The sheriff’s office says McLain was acquainted with the victim and her family.

McLain is being held without bond.
