In March 2023, a 16-year-old girl’s mom reported to police that Westley had been molesting her daughter in 2021 and 2022.

The girl told her mother that he had been touching parts of her body and raping her.

He denied that she had been at his house, but cell phone data placed the victim there.

In 2003, Westley was convicted in Fulton County of aggravated child molestation and child molestation against some of his relatives. He spent 10 years in prison for those crimes.

Those victims were allowed to testify at this trial.
