Roswell's city council will hold its first meeting tonight since Councilman Kent Igleheart, accused of sex crimes against a child, bonded out of jail Monday.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution will be at the meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at Roswell City Hall.

The open forum meeting will be an opportunity for city residents to talk to members of council about anything they'd like to, including the accusations against Igleheart.

Kent Igleheart, 53, was arrested Oct. 20 and posted the $30,000 bond Sunday.

He is accused of sexual exploitation of a child, enticing a child for indecent purposes and furnishing alcohol to a minor. Authorities say he maintained a four-year relationship with a girl beginning when she was 13.
