On Tuesday, January 7, sheriff’s detectives initiated an investigation into a report of a sexual assault involving a 15-year-old female juvenile, said to have occurred at a private residence near Resaca in May 2019.

The report was received as a result of a DFCS investigation into a separate, unrelated matter.

After conducting interviews with witnesses and collecting other evidence, detectives arrested Jake Lamar Reynolds, age 19, of 1007 Tate Bend Road, Calhoun, on charges of Rape and Child Molestation.

Reynolds was taken into custody without incident at the Sheriff’s Office.

His case will be referred to Superior Court for judicial disposition.
