Child biter sentenced to four years' probation

Gordon Kent Nelson, arrested two years ago for biting two Cumming children, was sentenced to four years' supervised probation Tuesday in Forsyth County State Court. Nelson, 46, pleaded guilty to charges of reckless conduct.

He was arrested in 2010 for biting two local 8-year-old girls on two separate occasions.

As part of his probation, Nelson must perform more than 200 hours of community service, pay $3,165 in fines and complete a program at a facility specializing in treating compulsive sexual disorders.
