The GBI has arrested Seth Roberts, 20, from Trenton, Dade County, GA, for Sexual Exploitation of Children. In September 2024, the GBI’s CEACC Unit began investigating Roberts due to a Cyber Tipline Report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about possible online possession and sharing of child sexual abuse material.

This investigation led to a search warrant for his home, resulting in his arrest, with assistance from the Dade County Sheriff’s Office, Trenton Police Department, and GBI Regional Investigative Office in Calhoun.

Roberts has been booked into the Dade County Jail. This investigation is part of the ongoing efforts by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which aims to identify those involved in child sexual abuse material trading. The ICAC Program was created to address the rise in online threats to children.

Anyone with information about child exploitation cases should contact the GBI Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTipline.
