Haralson County man arrested for child sexual exploitation following GBI cybertip
The Brief Bradley Curtis Kingsley was arrested on multiple felony charges related to child sexual exploitation after a cybertip from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Investigator Nicole Wilson identified Kingsley through the GBI's Internet Crimes Against Children system and executed a search warrant, finding active child sexual abuse material and hidden electronic storage devices. Sheriff Stacy Williams emphasized the priority of protecting children and praised the work of Investigator Wilson and the assistance from Deputy Melinda Flood and K-9 Maxim in the investigation. TALLAPOOSA, Ga. - A 63-year-old Haralson County man has been arrested on multiple felony charges related to the sexual exploitation of children, following an investigation that began with a cybertip from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. What we know Bradley Curtis Kingsley of Tallapoosa was taken into custody Tuesday after investigators with the Haralson County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant at his residence. Authorities say the arrest stems from a case that began in May, when investigators received a tip from the GBI's Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) system. The tip included multiple videos of prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts that had been uploaded to a Verizon account. Investigators specializing in Crimes Against Children and ICAC cases identified the account holder, confirmed his location, and matched the content to an IP address associated with an upload. Warrants to search Kingsley's home were then obtained and executed with the assistance from the Murray County Sheriff's Office, including K-9 Maxim—an electronic storage detection dog—and his handler. During the search, investigators found a laptop with active child sexual abuse material playing on the screen. After several hours of collecting evidence, K-9 Maxim located nine additional hidden electronic storage devices inside the residence. What's next Kingsley has been charged with multiple counts of felony sexual exploitation of children. What they're saying "One of my biggest priorities when I took office was to protect kids," Sheriff Stacy Williams said. "These cases are difficult for everyone involved. I am proud of the work that Investigator Wilson has done as she continues this important work. We remain dedicated to helping and protecting all children."

Albuquerque Police release new information about death of 1-year-old
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Police Department released new information Monday about the death of a 1-year-old who was left in a hot truck with the windows up on Sunday. According to police, the child's parents left the 1-year-old with a relative around mid-morning. APD says they received the report about the child around 5 p.m. It's unclear how long the child was in the truck. 'I believe the person who was in care for it, realized the child was in the truck, went to the truck,' said Gilbert Gallegos, spokesperson for APD. 'I'm not sure what exactly happened at that point, or if another relative came, but at that point, the child was transferred inside the home.' Road rage shooting suspect arrested by Albuquerque police When first responders arrived on the scene a little after 5:30 p.m., they attempted to give CPR but were unsuccessful. Police believe the death was an accident, and the District Attorney's Office has decided not to press charges at this time, as the investigation continues. 'He was non-responsive,' Gallegos said about the child. 'He didn't have a pulse at that point, but they tried for a long time to revive the child. Unfortunately, the child died at the scene.' APD's Crimes Against Children Unit started the investigation. Police say they're waiting for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death, which could lead to possible charges. Police believe the child was inside the truck for several hours. Police say the relative who was watching the child did leave the scene at some point, but we don't know when and for how long. The truck where the child was found also belonged to that relative. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
