ROSWELL, Ga. (AP) - A former counselor charged with molesting
two girls at a summer day camp in Roswell is being held without
bond at the Fulton County Jail.

According to Roswell Police, 20-year-old Alfred Phelps was also
charged with sexual abuse and enticing a child for indecent
purposes. He was arrested June 19th.

Phelps is accused of having inappropriate contact with an 8 and
10-year-old girl.

Suz Welch, the Director of Camp WoHelo, said a background check
on Phelps found no reason for concern. Phelps awaits an August 19th
court hearing.

I am a long time acquaintance of Alfred Phelps and his background checks out because he is an upstanding citizen. There is more to this story that is being told. That picture of him shows me nothing but fear. He is an honor roll student and he graduated at 16.
