RAY CITY, GA - The GBI says it arrested Kenneth Duane Brewer and Kelley Brewer, both of Ray City, on Oct. 15 after a child molestation investigation in Berrien County.

Kenneth Brewer is charged with two counts of child molestation, one count of grooming of a minor, one count of rape, one count of aggravated sodomy, one count of improper sexual contact by an employee, agent, foster parent or person in a position of trust, and one count of distribution of a controlled substance, according to the GBI.
