Man Arrested for Producing Child Pornography in Jackson County

The following is from a press release issued on August 12, 2024 by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation:

JACKSON COUNTY, GA. – On Wednesday, August 7, 2024, the Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes (CEACC) Unit of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested and charged 29-year-old Alexander Webster with 5 counts of child sexual exploitation in Hall County, Georgia, and six additional counts of child sexual exploitation in Jackson County, Georgia.

The GBI CEACC Unit began an investigation into Webster’s online activities after receiving a Cyber ​​Tipline Report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding the possible online possession and distribution of child abuse material. This investigation led to a search warrant at Webster’s home in Hall County and his subsequent arrest, as well as additional charges related to the production of child abuse material in Jackson County.

The GBI CEACC unit was assisted in executing this search warrant by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations/U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Webster was booked into the Hall County Jail following his arrest.

This investigation is part of the ongoing efforts of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which is part of the GBI’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit, to identify those involved in the trafficking of child pornography.

The ICAC program, established by the U.S. Department of Justice, was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the distribution of child abuse material, and the increased online activity of child molesters seeking unsupervised contact with underage victims.

Anyone with information regarding additional cases of child exploitation is asked to contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation Unit at 404-270-8870 or report it through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s CyberTipline at CyberTipline.org.
