A 31-year-old Chattooga County woman is facing a series of disturbing and severe charges following her arrest by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Lillian Angelique Hughes was taken into custody and charged with three counts of felony sexual exploitation of children and one count of bestiality, according to reports released this morning.

The nature of the allegations has sent shockwaves through the local community, prompting widespread questions and concerns among residents.
