ATLANTA—Special Agent in Charge Brian D.
Lamkin announces, on behalf of the Northwest Georgia Crimes Against Children
Task Force, the following arrest:
Jordan Banther, 20 years old, of Dalton,
Georgia, was arrested without incident on Sunday, August 12, 2012, in Ringgold,
Georgia by agents and officers from the FBI-led Safe Child Task Force after he
traveled there to meet a minor child for purposes of having sex.
Banther came to the attention of law
enforcement over the Internet wherein he began a series of “chats” with
undercover agents/officers regarding his desire to have sex with a minor child.
Banther was thereafter transported and
processed at the Catoosa County Detention Center on state charges of attempted
child molestation and violation of the Computer Pornography Act.
The public should be reminded that the
above are merely allegations and the all persons are to be presumed innocent
until proven guilty in a court of law.
