A Trenton man has been sentenced to consecutive life prison terms after being convicted by a Dade County jury on multiple child sexual abuse charges.

Randall Dakota Wallin, 36, was convicted following a three-day trial before Judge Chris Arnt that concluded on April 22nd. Wallin was found guilty of aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, and two counts of child molestation.

According to prosecutors, the case began on July 31st, 2024, when the Dade County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Family and Children’s Services responded to a report of sexual abuse at a residence on Casey Road.

Investigators said multiple minors were found living in deplorable conditions at the home. All of the children were later removed from the residence after one minor disclosed sexual abuse involving Wallin.

A forensic interview was later conducted at the Children’s Advocacy Center in Fort Oglethorpe, where the victim disclosed extensive abuse that occurred when she was 13 years old.

The case was investigated by former Dade County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Misty McConathy and prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Kevin Baugh, with assistance from members of the District Attorney’s Office trial team and victim-witness services staff.

Wallin was sentenced on April 29th to serve consecutive life sentences in prison. Under Georgia law, prosecutors say he will not be eligible for parole until he has served 60 years.

Acting District Attorney Deanna Reisman praised the victim’s courage in coming forward and said the sentence ensures Wallin will never again have the opportunity to harm a child.
