Thomas Arnold was also charged with aggravated sodomy. Lisa Arnold, 28, the aunt of the two brothers, was also arrested for incest after the GBI found evidence that she had sex with her two nephews.
Authorities started investigating the three upon the request of the Department of Family and Children Services after it was discovered that the 10-year-old victim was pregnant. The GBI press release also noted that upon discovery, authorities in Newton County where the girl has relatives, were contacted and found that all three suspects lived in Union City, Ga., where the assault and molestation had been going on for years.
The victim has since had an abortion. However, DNA has been tested to determine which of the brothers impregnated the child. A GBI spokesman said they received a tip that the brothers were at church, which is where they were arrested. Lisa Arnold was arrested at her home. –torrance stephens, ph.d.
