DECATUR, Ga. -- Two-time Olympic gold medalist Angelo Taylor was arrested when a police officer allegedly found him having sex with a 15-year-old girl in a parked car.

Taylor, 26, of Decatur was charged Thursday with one count each of child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes. He posted $2,000 bond at the jail, DeKalb County police spokesman Dale Davis said Friday.

Taylor won gold medals in the 400-meter hurdles and 4x400 relay events at the 2000 Sydney Games.

The former Georgia Tech track star placed second at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 400 but didn't qualify for the final at the Athens Games.
