A Senoia man was arrested by Fayette County sheriff’s deputies in Peachtree City on April 28 on multiple charges relating to the sexual exploitation of a child. The man had been communicating online with a deputy he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.
Adam Seth Brown, 30, was charged with sexual exploitation of children, two counts enticing a child for indecent purposes, obscene internet contact with a child and computer child exploitation-online server, according to Sheriff Barry Babb.
Babb said deputies arrested Brown without incident in Peachtree City at the Rite Aid pharmacy at the Wilshire Pavillion shopping center on Ga. Highway 74 South.
Babb said the arrest was a result of a two-day investigation where Brown initiated contact through social media with an undercover sheriff’s deputy who was posing as a 15-year-old female.
“Brown used social media to locate the ‘child’ and continually requested the undercover officer to perform in a sexually explicit manner for the purpose of taking photographs to send him,” said Babb. “He also engaged in sexually graphic and extremely vulgar conversation with the undercover deputy while describing in detail the sexual acts he wanted to perform with and on her.”
Throughout the online conversation on both days, Brown requested the “child” meet him at his home to engage in sexually explicit conduct, Babb said.
On April 28, Brown made arrangements for the undercover officer to walk to the area of Rockaway Road, just inside Peachtree City where he would meet her and the two would return to his house, Babb said.
Babb said a final arrangement was made to meet at the Rite Aid where Brown was arrested without incident.
Babb said Brown was convicted of cruelty to children in a Fayette County case in 2006 and was sentenced to 9 years, 11 months on probation and served 30 days in jail.
