A Cobb County jury on Thursday convicted an Atlanta man of molesting two young girls nearly three years ago in Marietta.
According to the Office of Cobb District Attorney Vic Reynolds, Joe Neil Glenn could face up to 40 years in prison for the April 2010 molestation of two 9-year-old girls.
Glenn, 50, lived with the victims at a Marietta home at the time that the acts occurred, said Kim Isaza, the spokeswoman for District Attorney Vic Reynolds.
Cobb Superior Court Judge James Bodiford has scheduled sentencing for 4 p.m. March 5. Glenn could be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Odom, who prosecuted the case, said, “This case is important because the victims were able to come to court, tell the jury what happened, have the jury believe them, and have justice served.”

I've become curious, because of recent headlines such as these, how aggressively charges of this nature are prosecuted. I saw a recent case in Cobb County regarding a man named Hugh Allen Dunn. Charges were filed against him for child molestation et al, and saw what I believe was a noelle prosequi from the Cobb Superior Court citing a previous guilty plea. I'm not sure what the circumstances of the case are but noticed that Mr. Dunn, a youth softball umpire, actively maintains a Twitter account where he is in contact with youth softball players and has tweeted a few suggestive things. Shouldn't somebody know about this? I don't know...it just bothers me.
