ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell City Councilman Kent Igleheart, who has been accused of child sex crimes, has resigned from the city council.
Igleheart, 53, is accused of sexual exploitation of a child, enticing a child for indecent purposes and furnishing alcohol to a minor. Authorities say he maintained a four-year relationship with a girl beginning when she was 13.
Igleheart, who was arrested Oct. 20, posted the $30,000 bond Sunday. He was released from the DeKalb County Jail on Monday, according to jail records.
At a council meeting Tuesday, Councilman Donald J. Horton said Igleheart’s resignation “has been accepted by the city.”
“It’s difficult in the position of a council member to have charges like that filed against you to continue on in the world of a council member,” said resident Ron Bevan.
