A man and woman in Georgia have been taken into custody following an investigation into Child Sexual Abuse after attempting to use an online platform to solicit pedophiles to have relations with a child as young as two. Grovetown Police Department reports that Ashley Crawley, 26, and James Tripp, 29, were arrested on Wednesday, June 26th.
The investigation was initiated after the Grovetown Police Department received a Cybertip from the online chat platform ” MeetMe .” Investigators reveal that the tip provided information that a person in Grovetown was attempting to solicit males in the area to engage in sexual activity with a child.
Authorities state that the investigation uncovered that Crawley had allegedly been creating sexually explicit “content” and selling it online via various apps, with some of this “content” being created with children deliberately present in videos for additional money, reports WJBF.
The youngest of these children is reported to be 2 years old. Further investigation revealed that Tripp was allegedly making plans and seeking permission from Crawley to engage in intercourse with one of the children.
