By Caleb Hutchins Assistant News Director

A North Carolina man has now been extradited to Towns County to face child molestation and sexual battery charges.

Donathan Shelton, age 32 of Sylva, North Carolina, was booked into the Towns County Detention Center on July 18 following his release from jail in North Carolina, according to a release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Towns County authorities reportedly asked the GBI to help investigate the child molestation case in April of 2022. No details on the case have been released, but jail records show Shelton is facing two counts each of child molestation and sexual battery of a person under the age of 16. The GBI is continuing to investigate as of Monday evening.
