WHITE COUNTY, Ga. – The GBI has arrested and charged Justin Edge, age 25, of Clermont, White County, Georgia, with two counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children.
The Hall County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Department of Community Supervision, and the Dahlonega Police Department assisted with the investigation.
This investigation is part of the ongoing effort by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, housed withinthe GBI’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit, to identify those involved in the trade of child sexual abuse material. The ICAC Program, created by the U.S. Department of Justice, was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the internet, the proliferation of child sexual abuse material, and the heightened online activity by predators searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims.
