That evidence led police to charge 41-year-old Larry Allen Carroll Jr. with rape, aggravated sodomy, obstructing emergency telephone call, battery, cruelty to children in the third degree and theft by taking. Adairsville police note the rape, aggravated sodomy, and battery charges were all brought forth under the Family Violence Act.

Bartow County Jail records show the rape and aggravated sodomy charges are felonies, and the rest are misdemeanors. Carroll was booked into the jail on July 14 and remains held on a $10,000 bond.
