Georgia multi-county sexual assault investigation

Overview

Authorities in Georgia have launched an expansive multi-county investigation into Bobby Lee Hart, Jr., a 53-year-old suspect facing multiple indictments for sexual assault. The probe involves Paulding, Douglas, Cobb, and potentially Fulton counties, with investigators suggesting Hart may have been active in the region since at least 1988.

Following an initial arrest in Douglas County in August 2025, the investigation widened after DNA evidence linked Hart to a 2006 case in Cobb County. In Paulding County, he faces charges including rape, felony assault, and false imprisonment. Law enforcement agencies, including the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office and the Hiram Police Department, are coordinating their efforts.

As the investigation progresses, officials have expressed concern that the total number of victims could exceed 25. Reports indicate Hart may have operated along the Highway 92 corridor using aliases such as ‘Meat King’ and ‘Champ’. While Hart’s father stated that his son denies the allegations, Hart remains held without bond at the Cobb County Jail.
