WOODSTOCK, GA -- A man accused of exposing himself to a 12-year-old child has been indicted in connection to those charges.
A Cherokee County grand jury this week indicted Larry Groeber on four counts of child molestation, court records show.
Groeber surfaced on law enforcement's radar on Aug. 18 when deputies with the Cherokee Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a call on Wesleyan Drive, which is located off Wyngate Parkway near Bells Ferry Road.

The victim told police that she was getting off her school bus when the man allegedly "called her over to his garage to give her candy," sheriff's office spokesperson Lt. Jay Baker previously told Patch.
The girl told police Groeber had given her candy in the past. While she was in the garage, the suspect exposed and touched himself in front of the child.
