A woman arrested in December for allowing men to touch three young children is facing more charges along with her boyfriend, according to jail records and District Attorney Leigh Patterson.

Dora Vanessa Gomez, 23, of 84 S. Orchid St., Ellijay, was booked into the Floyd County Jail on a bench warrant charging her with felony pandering a person under the age of 18, felony pimping a person under the age of 18, two felony counts of child molestation and two felony counts of sexual battery.

Gomez was arrested on Dec. 7 on two counts of first-degree cruelty to children and was released on an $11,200 bond.

She was arrested in Gil­mer County on the bench warrant on Thursday afternoon and booked into the Floyd County Jail on Thursday evening.

A man identified as her boyfriend in court records, Andres Francisco Francisco, 32, of 812 Maple Ave., Rome, is charged with four counts of felony sexual battery, nine counts of aggravated child molestation and six counts of aggravated sodomy.

Francisco also has a hold from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to jail records.

He has been in jail since his December 2012 arrest on two felony counts of child molestation and two felony counts of sexual battery.

Gomez allowed other men to touch two of the children for money and was in the same room when it happened, according to the warrants that were filed against her in December.

While investigators have been given information about some of the men who paid money to molest the children, they have not been able to identify them, Patterson said.

The children are in the custody of the Department of Family and Children’s Services.

Gomez and Francisco remained in the Floyd County Jail on Friday night and are being held without bond.
