Robert Allen Hooper Arrested for Sexually Abusing 2 Children

Cullman County Sheriff’s investigators arrested a Holly Pond man Wednesday for allegedly sexually abusing two children earlier this year.

Robert Allen Hooper, 68, was arrested on a June Cullman County grand jury indictment for two counts of sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years old. Quick could not release any details about the two victims other than that Hooper was acquainted with them prior to the alleged incidents.

Chief Deputy Tony Quick said the indictment developed from an April incident report of the alleged abuse. After conducting an investigation and having the victims interviewed at the Children’s Advocacy Center, investigators decided to wait until the grand jury before they made an arrest, Quick said.

“The victims were not in the home or in the immediate area, so that’s why we waited to present it (case) to the grand jury,” Quick said.

Hooper was incarcerated at the Cullman County Detention Center, but has since been released on a $20,000 bond.

Sexual abuse of a child less than 12-years-old is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
