Cyber Tip Leads to Arrest of Bullock County Man for Distribution of Child Pornography

On November 14, 2024, the GBI arrested and charged 38-year-old Charles Oneal of Brooklet in Bulloch County with Sexual Exploitation of Children.

The GBI CEACC Unit began an investigation into Oneal’s online activity on July 22, 2024, after receiving a Cyber Tipline Report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding the possible online possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material. This investigation led to a search warrant for Oneal’s home and his subsequent arrest. The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the search warrant and arrest of Oneal.

Oneal was booked into the Mitchell County Jail in Camilla, GA.

Anyone with information about other cases of child exploitation is asked to contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit at 404-270-8870 or report via the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTipline at Cybertipline.org.
