With assistance from the Bulloch and Bryan County Sheriff’s Offices, investigators arrested Gregory, who was then booked into the Bulloch County Jail.
The GBI stated that this arrest is part of a larger operation by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, aimed at identifying individuals involved in the online exchange of child sexual abuse material.
Authorities urge anyone with information related to this case to contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
