A Brooklet man was jailed without bond Wednesday after his 11-year-old stepdaughter told a school resource officer that the man had been molesting her for years. Gerardo Velez-Sanchez, 31, of Cody Lane in Brooklet, is charged with rape, aggravated child molestation, incest and enticing a child for indecent purposes, said Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown. The sixth-grade girl confided in sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Thompson, a school resource officer, that “her stepfather had been sexually molesting her over the past few years,” Brown said.
