Protecting children and holding offenders accountable requires more than exposing a suspected predator. It requires building a case that can hold up in court.

Civilian “predator-catching” efforts can unintentionally alert suspects, compromise evidence, interfere with police investigations and create legal challenges that make prosecution more difficult.

Protect children. Protect the case.

If you suspect child exploitation, report it to law enforcement and allow trained investigators to build the case.

The Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office is committed to protecting children and holding offenders accountable through lawful investigation and prosecution.

So-called “catch a predator” vigilante groups can interfere with legitimate investigations and jeopardize the legal process. If you suspect child exploitation or abuse, contact your local law enforcement agency immediately so trained professionals can properly investigate the matter and prosecutors can pursue accountability through the courts.

We urge vigilante groups to stand down and allow law enforcement to do its job. Anyone who jeopardizes an investigation may also face prosecution if they break the law.
