HENRY MAN FACES SODOMY CHARGES

Authorities arrested a Henry County man Tuesday and charged him with 10 counts each of forcible sodomy and aggravated sexual battery, Henry County's sheriff said.

Samuel W. Helton, 55, was being held in the county jail Wednesday night in lieu of $200,000 bond, Sheriff Frank Cassell said.

The charges stem from incidents that allegedly involved at least three juveniles from 1988 to this year, Cassell said.
