Deputies arrest man on added child sexual exploitation charges

Hall County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Flowery Branch man this week on additional child sexual exploitation counts stemming from an investigation that began in 2023, the sheriff’s office says.

Deputies took Caleb A. Moore-Rosario, 39, into custody at his residence on Bridle Creek Drive on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 1.

During a search earlier this year, the sheriff’s office seized an external hard drive from Moore-Rosario. Through forensic processing of the device, investigators say they discovered at least three videos and two images of child sexual abuse material. They charged him with five additional felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Tuesday’s arrest is Moore-Rosario’s second since the Hall County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force began investigating him. Authorities first arrested him on April 30 on one felony count of sexual exploitation of a minor after ICAC got a cybertip about his alleged online activities.

The additional charges bring the total counts against him to six.

Deputies booked Moore-Rosario into the Hall County Jail, where he remained held without bond on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 2.
