Two of three charges against a 15-year-old accused of molesting a 7-year-old family friend require the teen to be tried as an adult, said Ogeechee Judicial Circuit Assistant District Attorney Kathy Bradley. A bond hearing/preliminary hearing is slated for Aug. 30 at 9 a.m. in the Bulloch County Superior Court for Gregory Robinson Nesmith Jr., 15, Kennedy Pond Roach, charged with aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, and enticing a child for indecent purposes, said Ogeechee Judicial circuit Assistant District Attorney Michael Muldrew, who is prosecuting the case. Nesmith is being held in Claxton Regional Youth Detention Center due to his age, regardless of the charges.
