A Flowery Branch teenager was arrested Thursday after authorities said they discovered he took inappropriate photos of one teen and molested another.

Luke James Decamp faces sexual exploitation of a child and aggravated child molestation charges in the two crimes, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

On Jan. 25, Decamp took 14 inappropriate images of a 13-year-old boy at a west Hall County location, sheriff’s Lt. Scott Ware said. Months later, on April 11, Decamp allegedly molested a 14-year-old boy at different location in Hall County.

Decamp remained in the Hall County jail without bond.
