A Cobb County man is behind bars after allegedly molesting a teenager in Forsyth County, authorities said.

Terrance David Scott, 33, of Powder Springs, was arrested Tuesday on two counts of enticing a child for indecent purposes, two counts of aggravated child molestation and one count of using a computer to entice, seduce or solicit a minor, jail records show.

Because the case involves a juvenile younger than 16, Forsyth County deputies have not released a police report or many details about their investigation.

Authorities confirmed Scott’s alleged victim is a teenager and that the two are not related, but it’s unclear how they knew each other.

Scott remains held at the Forsyth County Jail without bond, records show.
