Man convicted on rape and child molestation

LMJC District Attorney’s Office

CHATTOOGA COUNTY — A man has been found guilty on multiple charges including rape and child molestation.

Timmy Glenn has been found guilty of Rape, Aggravated Sexual Battery, two counts of Child Molestation, two counts of Cruelty to Children in the First Degree, two counts of Cruelty to Children in the Second Degree and Simple Battery, according to the LMJC District Attorney’s Office.

They say evidence showed that the defendant subjected three children in his care—one of whom was his biological child—to repeated physical and sexual abuse while they were living in the same home with him.

They say two of the children were able to sneak out of the home and seek help from family members after one of them had been physically abused by the defendant with a large wooden paddle.

Two of the children were removed from the home for their safety following a welfare check at the residence.

During forensic interviews, the children disclosed that the defendant frequently used a large wooden paddle to repeatedly strike them—sometimes multiple times a day—leaving significant
bruising.

The LMJC District Attorney’s Office says after the children learned that the defendant’s parental rights had been terminated and that they would not be returned to his care, they later disclosed in subsequent forensic interviews the full extent of the abuse they had endured while living under the defendant’s control.

This abuse includes the defendant’s repeated use of a tasing device on the children as well as several acts of sexual abuse on three of the children.

Two additional children who had been living in the home were also interviewed during the investigation. One child disclosed sexual abuse by the defendant, and testimony from another child who
lived in the home further confirmed the pattern of physical and sexual abuse on the children in the home.

On March 9, 2026, Glenn was sentenced to Life with the first thirty years to serve in the Department of Corrections without the eligibility of parole.
