Ahmed Shengeb, 30, of Roswell faces six counts of sexual exploitation of children after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrested him Friday, Oct. 23.
Shengeb was booked into the DeKalb County Jail, according to a GBI press release issued Monday, Oct. 26. The charges stem from alleged online possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material.
The case goes back more than a year. In May 2025, the GBI's Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes (CEACC) Unit received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) flagging possible distribution of the material, the agency said. That tip launched an investigation that led to Shengeb's arrest.
The Roswell Police Department and the GBI's Atlanta Regional Investigative Office in Conyers assisted with the investigation, according to the GBI. The agency has not described the specific role Roswell police played.
Authorities have not released bond information or an upcoming court date for Shengeb, as Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Officials also have not disclosed whether investigators identified additional suspects or victims connected to the case.
The arrest is part of a broader effort by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, housed within the GBI's CEACC Unit. The task force works to identify people involved in the trade of child sexual abuse material. The U.S. Department of Justice created the ICAC program in response to the growing number of children and teenagers online and what the GBI described as heightened activity by predators seeking unsupervised contact with minors.
The case remains open.
