A Northwest Georgia man was sentenced in U.S. Federal Court in Rome last week for producing and distributing child pornography. Ian Alicea Prewett has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for enticing children to create child pornography. U. S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan condemned Prewett as a sexual predator who victimized innocent children. Prewett uploaded explicit images of minors to Instagram between 2020 and 2022 and was caught when federal agents obtained a warrant to search his home in May 2023. Prior to his arrest, Prewett had engaged in sexual acts with minors, including a victim under eight years old in the UK. Prewett, 31, from Cartersville, Georgia, was convicted of sexual exploitation of children and received a 20-year prison sentence followed by 20 years of supervised release.
