GBI cyber crimes unit charges Stephens County man with sexual exploitation of children

A Stephens County man was taken to jail after GBI agents allegedly found child sex abuse material on one of his electronic devices. On December 7, agents with the Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes (CEACC) Unit arrested and charged 32-year-old Alan Savage with one count of sexual exploitation of children.

The investigation into Savage’s alleged online activity began after the GBI received cybertip reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). That led to a search of Savage’s electronic devices and his arrest. Agents transported Savage to the Stephens County Jail upon his arrest.

Savage is being criminally charged in Oconee County, Georgia, where it was determined his crime was committed, the GBI says. The FBI and the Georgia Department of Community Supervision assisted with the investigation.

Anyone with information about other child exploitation cases is asked to contact the CEACC Unit at 404-270-8870 or NCMEC’s CyberTipline.org.
