ATLANTA — A $2,000 reward has now been offered to help find a wanted man who was found guilty of multiple crimes against a 15-year-old girl.
Charles Pinckney is a former DeKalb County detention officer who was standing trial on charges of statutory rape, child molestation and sexual battery for a 2016 incident.
Officials say days before he was convicted of those crimes, he took off. That was in late October 2017.
The trial continued, with Pinckney being found guilty and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
He is a wanted fugitive and Fulton County Sheriff's officials say he is considered armed and dangerous.
Crime Stoppers has offered a $2,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
If you have seen this man or know his whereabouts you are asked to call local police or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477.
