    High-Ranking Military Commander Busted in FBI Child Sex Trafficking Sting

    Earlier this week, the FBI Metro Atlanta Child Exploitation Task Force held a sting to catch alleged sex traffickers and made multiple arrests in the process. During the sting, a high-ranking Air Force Colonel was ensnared by federal agents.The undercover sex bust unfolded Tuesday night at a Cobb County hotel at which Lt. Col. Willie Newson, 47, was arrested. According to authorities, Newson thought he was meeting a 14-year-old girl at the hotel. He was actually meeting undercover agents pretending to be a child.
    Georgia Department of Defense spokeswoman Desiree Bamba told AJC.com that Newson is on the command staff of Maj. Gen. Jesse T. Simmons Jr., who is the commander of the Georgia Air National Guard. Newson also was formerly the commander of the 165th Communication Flight of the 165th Airlift Wing, according to the official.
    “Lt. Col. Newson’s alleged actions do not reflect the values we uphold in the Georgia National Guard,” she said.
    As WSB-TV reports, the “undercover officer that Newson spoke with gave him the opportunity to stop communicating several times.” However, Newson continued to pursue who he thought was a 14-year-old girl.
    The Air Force Colonel was using a popular dating app to pursue the child.
    On Tuesday, Newson was arrested on multiple charges stemming from the child exploitation charges. After he was taken into custody, he immediately bailed himself out for $20,000.
    He is currently on leave pending the outcome of the case.
    “It’s upsetting to the safety of our kids, the safety of this community as a whole,” Mark Samuels, who manages the hotel where the bust took place.


    As TFTP previously reported, another high-level government agent was arrested under similar circumstances. 41-year-old Donald Baldi, a Navy contractor with top-level security clearance was arrested and charged with second-degree distribution of child pornography and third-degree possession of child pornography. Baldi was also released on bail.
    Just down the road, in Fulton County, GA, a massive sting operation carried out by the FBI in metro Atlanta captured dozens of child traffickers and rescued 160 children who had been forced into sex slavery by their captors. The operation concluded in June of this year.
    Illustrating the massive scope of the sting, called Operation Safe Summer, it was a collaborative effort between the FBI and 38 other law enforcement agencies from six metro counties.
    “They are crimes of special concern to the FBI and to law enforcement generally,” Special Agent in Charge Matt Alcoke told Channel 2. “Because the victims are so vulnerable as children and because the offenders could be from just about any walk of life, from a gang member all the way up to someone who is highly successful and wealthy.”
    In total, the sting ensnared 150 traffickers. Approximately 160 children, including some as young as 3-years-old were rescued. According to Alocke, the sting was specifically timed to catch these predators before summer started as the trade tends to prey on children when they are out of school.

    To marry in Georgia, you must be at least 16 years old. If you are under the age of 18, you cannot get a marriage license without parental consent.

    Isn't a lieutenant colonel, by definition, a low-ranking colonel?

    See, the problem is, I believe random emails from rich Nigerian princes more than I believe the FBI at this point.
    There is no reason for me to believe any of this even happened.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    I am against people being lured into committing a crime they may not have otherwise committed. I would have rather they had gathered the man's information and watched him for a while to see if he actually is committing crimes and have a chance at saving and protecting more victims.

    I am totally against child trafficking and pray that it can be stopped but I just don't like the entrapment method of some poor slob when there are rich and powerful people out there doing much worse stuff on a much larger scale.

    I saw a video interview series with someone called "Jimmy Boots" who was a former NYC detective working a prostitution task force. He talked a lot about child trafficking and the powerful people doing it. They have all the info they need to take out all of them yet they don't do it because of so called National Security. It is such BS and so heart breaking to know that it is allowed to go on.

    He is a staff member to the Georgia Air Guard guy , so basically a nobody or someone who will make less important decisions than a special ops staff sergeant .
