Gainesville father, son charged in molestation of child victim

By Lawson Smith Anchor/Reporter
A Gainesville man and his son remain in the Hall County Jail  without bond on charges related to the sexual assault of a young girl. 
 
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office said in a release Wednesday that Raymundo Castillo, 60, was taken into custody Monday on one felony count of child molestation. Meanwhile Edgar Jovanny Razo, 30, was arrested Tuesday on  two counts of child molestation and three counts of sexual battery on a child under the age of 16. All of Razo’s charges are felony crimes. 
 
An initial investigation into the case revealed that the two men were allegedly involved in sexual abuse against the victim beginning in 2014. HCSO officials said no evidence indicated Castillo and Razo committed the crimes together. The victim and suspects were known to each other.
 
The victim reportedly told a teacher at her school about the abuse which led the teacher to make a report to law enforcement.   
 
The investigation is ongoing.
