Habersham County investigators charged a Gainesville woman with sexual exploitation of children for allegedly asking a 5-year-old to take nude photos of her. Sheriff’s investigators say the accused, Peggy Sue Mize, age 57, wanted the photos to send to someone.
The alleged incident happened at a residence in Clarkesville sometime between October 1, 2020, and January 15, 2021, according to the arrest warrant. It came to light this past December after the child told a counselor about it.
According to the incident report, the child, who is related to Mize, also told the counselor Mize had sex with a man in front of her and that she allegedly gave the child drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes to keep quiet.
Deputies arrested Mize on January 4 and booked her into the Habersham County Detention Center.
