Former businessman indicted on sex case

A former Chattanooga businessman charged last fall with his second case of having sex with a minor was indicted this week in Catoosa County, Ga.

The Catoosa County grand jury indicted 44-year-old Greg Austin on Wednesday on a charge of pandering for a person under 18.

The felony charge stems from October, when police claim Austin solicited a girl under 18 years old to either perform sex with him or on behalf of another person, then met her at a Fort Oglethorpe hotel, the indictment states.

That same night, police say, Austin had sex with a 17-year-old girl at the hotel while a 13-year-old girl watched. A 15-year-old girl also was in the room but told police she was in the bathroom while the sex was taking place.

Austin was charged with child molestation in that incident, but that charge wasn’t taken to the grand jury.
