A Chattanooga man was sentenced to seven years in prison and 13 years probation under sex offender conditions for attempting to make sexual contact with a North Georgia child.
Brandon McGarvey-Rogers pleaded guilty without a deal Wednesday in Catoosa County Superior Court and was imposed a “stiff sentence” after he asked the 14-year-old child for sex, the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit said in a press release.
Lookout Mountain District Attorney Clayton M. Fuller said in the statement his office doesn’t negotiate with predators, and those who harm children are going to prison.
“And to every predator sitting in Tennessee thinking about coming to Georgia, here’s your warning: it’s best for Tennessee Trash to stay on your side of the state line,” Fuller’s statement said. “Don’t come to Georgia creeping on our kids and ask for probation.”
McGarvey-Rogers used the messaging app Snapchat to contact the child.
