No Decision Yet on Motions in High Profile Child Molestation Case

No decision yet on a series of motions filed by the legal team representing a Hart County man in a high profile child molestation case.  On Thursday, attorneys for Jeremy Green were in Superior Court arguing several motions including throwing out certain evidence.  Green is now being represented by two attorneys.  Leslie Jones of Athens has taken on the lead attorney’s role.  Jones says Judge Chris Phelps has given both sides until Monday, September 9, to submit all motions with a September 15 deadline to finalize the change-of-venue motion.  No word yet on exactly when Judge Phelps is expected to issue his rulings.  So far no trial date has been announced.      

Green was indicted in August 2021 on six counts of child molestation and rape while employed at the Bell Family YMCA in Hartwell. The indictment alleges Green molested and raped “a teenage girl under the age of 16 from July 2015 to November 2015.”  That girl was later identified as Jennifer Cobb who committed suicide in June 2021 shortly after Green was released on bond.  Green has pled not guilty and was released on a $250,000 bond.  He has been under house arrest ever since.
