Suspect in Molestation Lured Girls with Toy

He was released Saturday from the Cobb County Adult Detention on $60,000 bond.

A Marietta man used a toy helicopter to lure two girls to his backyard, where he inappropriately touched them, Cobb police said.

Jaime Gonzalez allegedly told the girls, who are 4 and 8 years old, that they could play with the helicopter if they came to his backyard in the 140 block of York Road. Gonzalez, police said, had other plans.

He was arrested Thursday on two counts of child molestation and two counts of enticing a child for indecent purposes in connection with the July 15 incident. He was released Saturday from the Cobb County Adult Detention on $60,000 bond.
