Former GBI agent accused of molesting three boys denied bond

Bond was denied Wednesday for a former GBI agent accused of molesting three Macon boys.

Charles Woodall, 34, was arrested in Knoxville, Tennessee Monday, but has been transferred to the Bibb County jail to await trial.

Woodall didn't speak during the brief hearing in Bibb County Magistrate Court.

His lawyer, Charles Cox, requested a commitment hearing on Woodall's behalf. The hearing -- a time when investigators answer questions about why a person was charged with a crime -- is set for Nov. 25.

Speaking after the hearing, Cox said, "we're disappointed bond was denied," but also said he and his client are looking forward to the commitment hearing.

Authorities have alleged Woodall molested three boys he met through church between September 2005 and February 2014.

The Macon Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office alerted the GBI to the case after citizens reported to the prosecutors' office that they thought a crime might have occurred.

Woodall resigned in lieu of termination last month during the investigation.

Based in the Milledgeville field office, Woodall had been an agent since December 2011.
