Overview
- Fulton County prosecutors say the case grew from an encounter at an Embassy Suites in Hapeville that led police to investigate and to felony charges against Favors.
- Favors is charged with sexual battery of a child under 16, aggravated child molestation and sodomy, according to jail and court records.
- The judge ordered no bond after prosecutors argued Favors has limited local ties and a large social media presence that could reach or intimidate the alleged victim and witnesses.
- Defense lawyers said Favors has no criminal record beyond traffic citations, cooperated with investigators and lives in Chicago with her mother while asserting her innocence.
- The alleged victim’s mother told the court her son is receiving intensive therapy for emotional harm; the case will move through pretrial proceedings with Favors remaining in custody.
