Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Gregory Jones, FBI Atlanta, announced the arrest of Russell Edward Worsham.Worsham, 42, was arrested by Agents of the FBI’s Safe Child Task Force (SCTF) last Friday, for reportedly using an interstate telecommunications device (a computer) to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity. A criminal complaint issued in the Northern District of Georgia charges Worsham with violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 2422(b).
Worsham, an appliance repairman from Macon, allegedly engaged in a series of Internet conversations with what he believed was the mother of girl under the age of 10. During these conversations, Worsham allegedly made plans with the mother to travel from Macon to Atlanta in order to engage in sexual behavior with the child.
In fact, both the mother and daughter were fictional, and Worsham was having the aforementioned conversations with an SCTF Agent acting in an undercover capacity. Worsham was arrested without incident upon his arrival at the agreed upon meeting place.
Worsham was expected to make an initial appearance before a United States Magistrate on Monday.
