Behind the Screens: Tracking down the numbers of child predators in Georgia
COLUMBUS, GA. (WRBL) — In response to recent concerns about online child exploitation,
the Georgia Bureau of Investigations Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes United has intensified efforts in Muscogee County.
WRBL's Crystal Whitman is working behind the scenes to find out how many operations have been done in Muscogee County in the last 12 months that target people who try to exploit minors through the internet.
One notable and recent operation, 'Operation Lights Out,' was a collaborative effort involving the GBI, the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, and the Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children or ICAC Task Force.
