LOTTO Gang Leaders Sentenced in Gwinnett County to 40 Years for Trafficking Five Victims, Including a Child

Attorney General Chris Carr announced today the conviction and sentencing of two leaders of the LOTTO gang, a hybrid criminal street gang with ties to the Crips and Gangster Disciples. The defendants, Sean Patrick Harvey and Sean Aaron Curry, trafficked five female victims, including a child, to further their gang enterprise. One of the adult victims was also kidnapped by Curry.

Harvey, 35, served as President of LOTTO, and Curry, 33, served as Vice President. Both men encouraged others to join the gang. They pleaded guilty on April 17, 2025, in Gwinnett County Superior Court to charges including human trafficking, gang activity, kidnapping, aggravated assault, racketeering, and weapons offenses.

A judge sentenced both men to 40 years, with the first 20 years to be served in prison and the remainder on strict probation. They are also required to register as sex offenders.

“The LOTTO gang preyed on our most vulnerable Georgians, and we won’t rest until the entire network is behind bars,” said Attorney General Chris Carr. “With seven convicted in this case so far, our work doesn’t stop here. We’re going after everyone involved in the trafficking of these five victims, and we will ensure they’re held accountable.”

“The trafficking of individuals, especially children, is evil,” said State Senator Shawn Still. “Georgia will always be the enemy of those who participate in this horrific industry. I am grateful to the Attorney General’s Gang and Human Trafficking Units for prosecuting these people and getting a conviction. Let this send a clear message that we will put human traffickers in prison.”

“I applaud Attorney General Chris Carr and his prosecutors for securing another human trafficking conviction,” said State Representative Matt Reeves, vice chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. “This is another example in Georgia that survivors have hope, and perpetrators need to know if you do the crime, you’ll pay the time. Governor and First Lady Kemp, and a multitude of state officials, fight this evil every day.”

“In recent years, the General Assembly has made it a priority to eliminate gang violence and human trafficking, and I am proud to have passed multiple bills to tackle human trafficking in our state,” said State Representative Soo Hong. “Georgia will continue to lead this fight until we have held every bad actor accountable and made every victim whole. I am grateful for the Attorney General’s Human Trafficking and Gang Units for getting these convictions and sending a message that this behavior will not be tolerated.”

“Since I have entered the General Assembly, it has been a priority of mine to raise awareness about human trafficking as well as support our law enforcement agencies who put sexual predators behind bars,” said State Representative Sandy Donatucci. “I’m grateful for the work by the Attorney General’s Gang and Human Trafficking Units to put these criminals behind bars. We will never tolerate those who prey on our citizens in Georgia.”
