A Tunnel Hill man was arrested after police say he admitted to having sexual relations with a girl under the age of 10.

The sex acts are believed to have occurred multiple times over a period of several years.

According to the Catoosa County Sheriff’s Office:

Richard Eugene Reaves, 54, of Cow Trail in Tunnel Hill was arrested Thursday, March 29. He is being held in the Catoosa County jail without bond.

The arrest was initiated after police received a complaint from a “mandated reporter,” Capt. Scott Jordan said.

“We fielded the complaint and he was arrested the same day,” Jordan said.

“Mandated reporters” are professionals such as teachers or nurses, who are required by law to report any ob-served or suspected abuse to the proper authorities.

Maybe this wouldn't happen so often if the family of these children were allowed to take care of these predators! Be good if someone could convince him what a worthless piece of dirt he is, but these kind of people could care less. All they can think of is their perverted evil selves.

This man is my father... I hate him so much. But at the same time I've had so many memories with him. He screwed up my family and he's going where he belongs. I just wish I could see him so i could tell him how much i hate him
