A Roswell city councilman who was booked on child sex crime charges earlier this month has been released from jail on bond.

Kent Igleheart, who was arrested Oct. 20, posted the $30,000 bond Oct. 30. He was released from the DeKalb County Jail today, according to jail records.

Igleheart, 53, is accused of sexual exploitation of a child, enticing a child for indecent purposes and furnishing alcohol to a minor. He is accused of maintaining a 4-year relationship with a girl beginning when she was 13.

Igleheart did not answer the phone at a phone number listed for him and no one returned a message seeking comment by mid-day Monday.

Igleheart, who is Roswell's mayor pro tem, missed one council meeting while in jail. The city council has two meetings Tuesday; if he misses them, he can be removed from the council.

His term expires Dec. 31, 2017.
