A Sandy Springs physician was indicted on child molestation charges Wednesday.

A Fulton County grand jury indicted Kelly Thrasher, 40, and charged him with molesting a juvenile girl during a sleepover at his home.

The grand jury added charges of sexual battery and aggravated sexual battery to the indictment.

Thrasher was arrested Jan. 24 after his release from the Ridgeview Medical Center where he entered himself after detectives initiated a criminal investigation into the molestation complaint, according to police.

Thrasher is also charged in a November 2012 incident where he is accused of sexually assaulting a 38-year-old woman at his residence in Sandy Springs. That case is set for 10 a.m. on Feb. 13 in Sandy Springs Municipal Court.

A court date on the child molestatiion charges has not been set. Thrasher is currently free on $50,000 bond.
