A north Georgia man has pleaded guilty to producing child pornography. Ian Alicea Prewett, 30, of Cartersville, pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child and admitted he had sex with girls under the age of 18 and enticed a child under the age of eight to produce sexually explicit images.

According to U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan and other information presented in court, Prewett uploaded sexually explicit images of minors to Instagram between 2020 and 2022.

In May 2023, federal agents identified him as the person who uploaded those images and obtained a search warrant on his home. During the search they found a cell phone associated with the Instagram accounts that Prewett used to distribute child pornography.

At the time agents served the search warrant, Prewett was awaiting trial in Cobb County for statutory rape, child molestation, and child enticement.  Prewett will be sentenced in Federal Court in Rome in September.
