The Whitfield County Sheriff's Office arrested 19-year-old Antonio Francisco Elrod on Wednesday on child molestation charges.

According to a sheriff's office release, a child told his or her parent on Saturday that the child had been molested by a relative. After doctors confirmed the child appeared to have been abused, investigators found evidence that Elrod committed the crime.

Sheriff's officials say they believe Elrod may have molested other children. Anyone with information about Elrod can call the sheriff's office at 706-278-3029.
