The GBI said more charges and arrests may be forthcoming. Twelve law enforcement agencies, including local, state and federal agencies, were a part of the operation.

“I want to make a plea with parents to closely monitor your children to ensure they are not communicating with these individuals,” said Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman. “These predators will travel from near and far to victimize your children. We take these crimes against children very seriously. It will be our focus to find these predators so they may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
