A Paulding County sheriff’s deputy faces child molestation charges after Canton police received a report of sexual abuse.

Carl Michael Janflone, 53, was arrested at his home in Cherokee County last Friday night. Janflone is also charged with enticing a child for indecent purposes. Police said Janflone knew the victim.

Janflone has served as a deputy in Paulding County for four years, officials said. 

”The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office is aware of the criminal investigation and arrest of one of our deputies by the Canton Police Department.  We are in full cooperation with Canton police to aid in their investigation, said Sgt. Brandon Gurley.  

Janflone was placed on administrative leave after the arrest and fired on Tuesday. He is being held in the Cherokee County Jail.
