Madison County Authorities Charge Toccoa Man with Child Molestation

By Jessica Waters

Madison County authorities have charged a Toccoa man with aggravated child molestation and aggravated sexual battery.

Last week, 52-year-old Kenneth Russell Dobbs was arrested and booked into the Madison County Jail in Danielsville.

Madison County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division Captain Jimmy Patton, told sister station, WNEG Radio in Toccoa that the investigation began this past April when allegations of crimes involving Dobbs were brought to light.

Patton said the incidents occurred between 2011 and 2015 and allegedly involved Dobbs and a minor under the age of 15, who, at that time, lived in the same household as Dobbs.

Patton said the investigation is still ongoing and further details will be made available after the completion of the investigation.

Dobbs remains in custody in Madison County, where he has been denied standard-request bond and must petition Superior Court for a bond hearing due to the nature of the allegations and charges.
