A teen who was a juvenile when he was arrested on child molestation charges will now be tried as an adult. Statesboro Police Major Rob Bryan said Tyler Ray Sherman Brown, now 17, of Warnock Street in Brooklet, was only 16 when he was charged in June with child molestation and sexual battery. Brown turned 17 a few months after his arrest, and “was held in custody at a youth detention center until November 3, 2015 when he appeared before a Superior Court judge” who determined he would be tried as an adult.
