A Flowery Branch man was charged Monday on allegations that he molested a child under the age of 10 following his previous arrest in 2021 for the alleged sexual assault of a different young girl.
According to a press release from the Hall County Sheriff's Office, James Kenneth Evans, 34, was initially arrested on April 17, 2021, for the crimes committed against the first victim. He was charged with child molestation, rape and sexual battery with a child under the age of 16 in that case. The crimes allegedly happened in 2017 and 2020. He was awaiting trial in that case as of Wednesday morning.
In the new case, Evans is accused of ongoing sexual assaults on a girl under the age of 10 between January 2014 and December 2015. Evans was charged with aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, rape and incest in relation to the new allegations. The charges in the new case are all felonies.
The Hall County Sheriff's Office said the second victim disclosed the crimes in May.
Evans was released on bond on the initial charges but was rearrested in January for violating the conditions of his bond. He has remained in custody since that time.
