CROCKETT COUNTY, Tenn. — TBI Agents arrested a Crockett County man indicted on numerous counts including Aggravated Statutory Rape, the agency announced.
The TBI said, after receiving a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an individual had solicited and exploited a minor victim on Facebook, the TBI Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force identified Gregory A. Dedmon, of Brownsville as the individual responsible.
