A Cherokee Village man already charged with multiple charges regarding sex crimes in Sharp County, is now facing additional charges in Fulton County.
According to documents filed March 28 in Fulton County, Charles Edward Slater now faces two counts of rape, a class Y felony for offenses dating back to 1999-2000.

Bond for the Fulton County charges is set at $100,000; bond for the four counts of rape in Sharp County is set at $150,000; and bond for the charges of sexual assault in the second degree in Sharp County was initially set at $250,000, and a motion has been filed by Slater’s attorney to reduce bond to $100,000, but no answer has been filed by Judge Alex Bigger at this time.
Collectively, Slater’s bonds are $500,000.
