— A Tunnel Hill man was found guilty by a Whitfield County jury of multiple child sex charges last week in Superior Court, a court officer said.

Ricky Lee Barmore, 46, of 3660 Chattanooga Road, was charged in August 2010 by the sheriff's office with three counts of child molestation and three counts of sexual battery against a child under 16. He faced those same charges before Judge Cindy Morris, who ordered a pre-sentence investigation after the verdict was read.

Assistant District Attorney Bert Poston said Barmore was accused of molesting a 13-year-old female unrelated to him.

"He was found guilty on all six counts, two counts for each of the three body parts he touched," Poston said. "The trial went two full days and into a morning. The jury was out around an hour."

Public Defender Dustin Strobel represented Barmore. Strobel did not immediately return a call on Monday. Poston said Barmore's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 17.
