A 52-year-old Silver Creek man is behind bars this week after authorities say he repeatedly molested a 13-year-old girl at a home on Woodberry Drive over an extended period. The suspect, identified as Jantzen Remone Fletcher, is being held on multiple felony counts, including child molestation, aggravated sexual battery and three counts of sexual battery of a child.
According to Coosa Valley News, reports allege Fletcher repeatedly made sexual contact with the child between January 2024 and April 1, 2026, including alleged penetration and repeated fondling. Investigators described instances of penetration of the victim’s vagina and fondling of her breasts and buttocks, and said Fletcher allegedly touched his genital area to the child’s back and buttocks to obtain sexual gratification. Those details were attributed to police reports and local booking records.
Local booking notes also show Fletcher was found with a shotgun at the Woodberry Drive residence and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to Floyd County jail records cited by WRGA. It was not immediately clear whether the firearm charge is linked to the sexual-assault allegations or is a separate booking entry.
What the charges mean under Georgia law
Child molestation and aggravated sexual battery are felony offenses under Georgia law and carry severe penalties if proven in court. Aggravated sexual battery can trigger long prison terms or split sentences and other court-ordered consequences, while child molestation is prosecuted under O.C.G.A. § 16-6-4. For statute language and sentencing details see Justia and Justia.
