Newnan man faces child sex charges
By John Winters
The Newnan Times-Herald
An undercover police operation resulted in the arrest of a Newnan man who tried to set up a meeting to have sex with a juvenile.
Christopher Jason Griffin, 33, was arrested at a Newnan motel, according to Coweta County authorities.
He is charged with one count of sexual exploitation of children and one count of criminal attempt to commit child molestation from Wednesday's arrest, according to Coweta County Jail records.
A female officer with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to help in the investigation, where the suspect "was interested in having sexual intercourse with a minor (15 years of age)," according to an investigation report.
The GBI officer set up the meeting at the motel and told Griffin what room she was in, according to statements in the report. "When the individual arrived, he was identified as Christopher Griffin and arrested without incident."
The Coweta County Sheriff's Office and Newnan Police Department were also involved in the investigation.
