Roswell Man Arrested on Six Child Sexual Exploitation Charges Following GBI Investigation
ROSWELL, Ga. — A 30-year-old Roswell man has been arrested on six counts of sexual exploitation of children following an investigation into the suspected online possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Monday, October 26, 2026.
Ahmed Shengeb, 30, was arrested Friday, October 23, and booked into the DeKalb County Jail.
According to the GBI, the investigation began in May 2025 when its Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes (CEACC) Unit received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
The tip concerned the possible online possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material.
GBI investigators followed up on the information, eventually identifying Shengeb as a suspect. The investigation resulted in his arrest on six counts of sexual exploitation of children. He was able to bond out on October 24th.
Multiple Georgia Law Enforcement Agencies Assisted Investigation
The GBI’s Atlanta Regional Investigative Office in Conyers and the Roswell Police Department assisted the CEACC Unit with the investigation.
The case is part of the ongoing work of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which operates within the GBI’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit.
The ICAC program was established by the U.S. Department of Justice to help law enforcement investigate internet-related crimes involving children, including the distribution of child sexual abuse material and online exploitation of minors.
Shengeb faces six criminal charges stemming from the investigation. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
