Woman Arrested on Child Molestation Charges

A Stephens County woman faces charges in connection to allegations of child molestation.

Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley said that 40-year-old Julia Cecilia Henson of Toccoa was arrested on December 15 and charged with Aggravated Child Molestation and Statutory Rape.

Shirley said the charges stem from alleged sexual misconduct occurring in the city of Toccoa with a child under the age of 16.

He said the alleged incidents began last May and a report was filed in early December, with an investigation beginning the next day and Henson arrested a couple of weeks after that.

According to the sheriff, Henson was released soon after her arrest on a bond of $25,000.

Shirley said as part of her bond, Henson must wear an ankle monitor, is prohibited from working or being around children, or having access to any medical records.
