The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken 33-year-old Lee Roy Baillargeon of Moultrie, GA, into custody, leveling against him charges that are as severe as they are solemn: three counts of Child Molestation and one count of Criminal Attempt to Commit Rape. The details emerge from the charged cadence of court documents and the grim ledger of the law.

The GBI's involvement came at the behest of the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office, which called for assistance in a child molestation case on October 30. The victim, who remains shielded by privacy and youth, is known to have been acquainted with Baillargeon. The alleged incidents that gave rise to the charges are said to have occurred between March and August of 2025, within the bounds of Colquitt County. 

Baillargeon found himself arrested and escorted to the confines of the Colquitt County Jail on November 3, as per the official statement from the GBI. The due process of law now awaits its deliberation in the corridors of justice.

This ongoing case, active as it is with the churn of investigative rigor, will eventually be turned over to the Southern Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for further review. As authorities seek to thoroughly examine every facet and to possibly gather more evidence, information from the public can still be crucial. The GBI is openly soliciting tips, urging anyone with knowledge pertinent to this investigation to step forward and communicate. Queries can be directed to their Regional Investigative Office, while anonymity can be maintained through the See Something, Send Something mobile app, as well as their hotline and online submission portal.
