A Walker County man convicted of child molestation with the help of testimony of two of his victims is headed to prison for several years. A jury convicted Stewart Arra Kelley of 4 counts of child molestation and 3 counts of sexual battery against a child under the age of 16. Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney Clayton Fuller says back in February 2020, Kelley’s wife reached out to police after a distant relative asked her if she knew her husband was a child molester. An investigation revealed that a woman who’s now grown claimed Kelley molested her back when she was a teen. After the investigation began it was revealed that Kelley had also molested a 4-year-old girl. Both the woman and the girl testified at Kelley’s trial. A judge sentenced Kelley to 25 years in prison, followed by 20 years of probation.
