Hall County Sheriff’s Office investigators arrested a Flowery Branch man on several charges in connection with a recent child molestation incident in South Hall County.
Joshua Todd Allen, 34, is charged with aggravated sodomy, first-degree cruelty to children, false imprisonment, child molestation, incest, and aggravated assault.
According to the initial investigation, Allen assaulted a minor female child at his residence on Capitola Farm Road. During the alleged incident, Allen threatened the victim and locked her in a room, preventing her from leaving. He forced the victim to perform various sex acts on him, the sheriff’s office says.
The victim and an adult family member later left the house and met with authorities at a safe location. Allen also left the residence before law enforcement was notified.
Sheriff’s Office Investigators obtained warrants for his arrest on Monday, Feb. 10. He turned himself in at the Hall County Jail two days later.
The case remains under investigation by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
