DARIEN, Ga. — A middle school band director has been arrested on child molestation charges, and police are investigating whether there are more potential victims.

James Ray Clark Jr. is being held at the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office on charges of aggravated child molestation and criminal attempt to commit statutory rape after two people claim he sexually assaulted them decades ago.

The Darien Police Department said the investigation began when a person came forward to say they had been assaulted by Clark in 2000-2001 while he worked as a youth minister at the Loganville First United Methodist Church.
