FBI probe: Parents asked to help identify restroom photo victims in Gwinnett County

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Federal authorities are asking parents across metro Atlanta and North Georgia to help identify potential child victims after a photographer was charged with secretly taking photos and videos of boys in public restrooms and high school athletic fields. 

What we know:

Federal agents with the FBI Atlanta Field Office are investigating a suspect recently charged with possession of child pornography. Authorities said the individual primarily targeted male juveniles inside public restrooms and at high school athletic fields in Gwinnett, Jackson and Oconee counties between February 2024 and March.

According to an email sent to families at Parkview High School in Lilburn, nearly all school-related incidents occurred during summer months or outside regular school hours. Specific locations flagged by investigators include Mountain View High School in Lawrenceville, Mill Creek High School in Hoschton, Rabbit Hill Park in Dacula, a Publix store in Watkinsville, and a Kroger store in Jefferson.

What you can do:

To protect victim privacy, redacted images related to the case cannot be shared electronically. FBI personnel will meet with parents and legal guardians in person on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Bogart Historical Ag Center, located at 125 E. Thompson St. in Bogart.

No appointment is necessary for parents who travel to the facility during those hours. Signage will direct guardians to a secure viewing room where FBI personnel will assist with the process.

Families who believe their child may have been photographed or who have relevant information can complete a confidential questionnaire on the official FBI website. Federal law mandates that the agency identify victims of federal crimes, who may be eligible for restitution, support services and legal rights.
