DECATUR, Ga. – The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says warrants are being executed in 34 counties in connection with the distribution of child porn over the Internet.
The GBI said Tuesday the warrants stem from a three-month investigation begun in October centered on the ability of GBI agents assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to detect specific child porn images being shared over the Internet.
Other law enforcement agencies in Georgia also located targets involved in the Internet child porn trade.
The mission of the task force, created by the U. S. Department of Justice and housed within the GBI, is to assist state and local law enforcement agencies in developing an effective response to cyber enticement and child pornography cases.
