GAINESVILLE, Ga. -- Hall County Sheriff's Deputies have charged a 65-year-old Gainesville man with child molestation and felony sexual battery in connection with the abuse of a 4-year-old relative.

Robert Lewis Chandler was arrested Saturday at his home in the 2100 block of Memorial Park Drive.

An adult relative had taken the child to Northeast Georgia Medical Center on Saturday and a member of the Hall County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division responded to the hospital and began investigating the abuse.

During the investigation, law enforcement determined that Chandler performed repeated immoral and indecent acts to the victim at a home in the county between September 2017 and the time of the arrest.

Chandler waived his committal hearing at his first appearance on Monday, July 16. He remains in the Hall County Jail without bond.
