A Clermont man was re-indicted by a Hall County grand jury last week in an alleged child molestation case, now including some more serious charges. Leon Messerlian, 87, of Clermont, is a violin teacher accused of nine counts of child molestation, two counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count each of attempt to commit aggravated sodomy and attempt to commit aggravated sexual battery. Attorney Clint Teston declined to comment.
