Secret restroom videos spark massive federal investigation in Georgia
Agents say device search exposed hidden videos
A freelance photographer secretly filmed young children inside public restrooms at several Metro Atlanta schools, parks and supermarkets, according to the FBI.
ATLANTA - The FBI is asking for the public's help to identify young boys who may have been secretly recorded in public restrooms and at high school athletic events.
Atlanta federal investigation
What we know:
Special agents with the FBI Atlanta office are investigating a series of illicit videos captured between February 2024 and March 2026. A freelance photographer faces state charges for possession of child pornography after investigators uncovered recordings taken in Gwinnett, Jackson and Oconee counties.
The suspect primarily targeted boys inside men's restrooms and during high school sports games. Federal authorities identified five specific locations where the recordings took place, noting that the camera captured images across dozens of separate dates.

Targeted Georgia locations
By the numbers:
The illegal recordings occurred across five distinct properties in North Georgia, including high schools and local businesses:
- 18 potential dates at Mountain View High School baseball fields in Lawrenceville.
- 17 potential dates at the Publix men's restroom at Butler's Crossing in Watkinsville.
- 3 potential dates at Rabbit Hill Park baseball fields in Dacula.
- 1 potential date at the Mill Creek High School basketball stadium in Hoschton.
- 1 potential date at the Kroger men's restroom in Jefferson.
All school-associated incidents occurred outside of normal hours, and agents uncovered the footage after seizing the suspect's devices during an unrelated federal investigation.

Identity of suspect
What we don't know:
The FBI has not released the name of the freelance photographer accused of making the hidden videos.
Investigators do not know the identities of all the children who were filmed because the victims were recorded secretly and may not realize they were victimized.
Officials have not specified the exact nature of the separate federal investigation that initially led to the photographer's arrest and device seizure.

Dacula neighborhood reaction
What they're saying:
"To hear this is very disturbing, especially someplace I come to every day, me and my kids," said Rob Robinson, a father who helps coach his son's baseball team at Rabbit Hill Park.
"What he did was leverage his position as a photographer to gain access to several local areas to take images of individuals without their knowledge," FBI Special Agent in Charge Marlo Graham said. "Most of the time, they were young children. It’s egregious. I think there are sacred spaces that we have and schools and parks are one of them."
Confidential online portal
What you can do:
The FBI requests anyone who visited these specific locations during the two-year timeframe, or anyone who knows someone who frequented them, to contact the agency immediately to assist in identifying potential victims.
The FBI is legally mandated to identify victims of federal crimes and has set up a secure portal for legal guardians and potential victims. Families who frequented these locations can access the online questionnaire at the official FBI Victim Services website to review known dates and submit information.
