Harold Simpson said he was taking the child to a church in Sparta, about 100 miles southeast of Atlanta, late last month, said Sgt. Curtis Davenport with Atlanta police.

But instead, Simpson molested the boy, the child’s mother told police.

Simpson was arrested Tuesday by Atlanta police and will be taken to Sparta to face charges, Davenport said. Simpson is also charged with two counts of aggravated sodomy, cruelty to children, false imprisonment and enticing a child, police said.

Simpson is being held in the Fulton County jail, Davenport said.
