Two brothers charged with molesting 10-year-old girl
Two men were arrested Monday in Union City for their alleged involvement in the sexual molestation of a 10-year-old girl.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Marshal’s Service arrested Danny Lee Arnold, 19. His charges include child molestation, cruelty to children and sexual battery. GBI officers also arrested Danny's brother Thomas Marcus Arnold, 21, who faces the same charges in addition to aggravated sodomy.
The aunt of the two brothers, Lisa Arnold, 28, was arrested for incest after the GBI found evidence that indicated she had had sex with her two nephews. All three suspects reside in Union City.
The investigation began when the Department of Family and Children Services learned that the 10-year-old victim was pregnant. The victim has since had an abortion. There was a DNA test to determine which Arnold brother impregnated her.
According to a GBI news release, the molestation had been ongoing for several years. The victim is in the care of relatives.
"I don't know if she'll ever be OK. Hopefully, the people caring for her now are giving her the love and support she needs," Bankhead said. "The effects of this will be tremendously traumatic and lifelong."
