A Dawsonville man accused of molesting a female family member was indicted last week by a Dawson County grand jury.

 

 

Victor Charles Damiano, 45, was indicted Sept. 8 on five counts of aggravated child molestation, incest and enticing a child for indecent purposes.

 

 

“Two of the aggravated child molestation counts resulted from acts of sodomy against the victim,” said Dawson County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Tony Wooten.

 

 

The victim, a 13-year-old girl, sustained injuries during the alleged assault, which led to her treatment at a local hospital and the sheriff’s office to open an investigation.

 

 

The incident allegedly took place Aug. 1 and 2 in a travel camper belonging to Damiano, according to the indictment and arrest warrants.

 

 

The eight-count indictment also identifies Damiano as having three prior felonies between 1995 and 2007, ranging from obstruction of an officer, to aggravated assault on a peace officer and possession of cocaine.

 

 

Damiano remains in Dawson County Sheriff’s Office custody without bond.
