DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A man who pleaded guilty this month to trafficking a 16-year-old girl in DeKalb County will spend 18 years in prison, Georgia's attorney general announced Thursday.
A release by AG Chris Carr's office said 27-year-old Jahaundria Seabron of College Park also faces separate charges on similar human trafficking charges in a different county.
The release outlined four charges that Seabron pleaded guilty to over the trafficking case, which occurred in late 2020. They included knowingly transporting a person under the age of 18 for the purpose of sexual servitude, knowingly harboring a person under the age of 18 for the purpose of sexual servitude, knowingly providing a person under the age of 18 for the purpose of sexual servitude and knowingly benefitting financially from the sexual servitude of a person under the age of 18.
According to the release, the case was opened by the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit within Carr's office in September 2022. Investigators "led to the discovery of potential victims who were identified only by an image and a nickname" which they were able to eventually confirm as the 16-year-old victim.
Seabron was also indicted on the second case in January 2022. It remains active, according to the release.
“Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, yet another person is behind bars for trafficking a child,” said Carr in a statement. “This outcome is made possible by our investigators, who are proactive in their approach to identifying victims and pursuing all those who engaged in their abuse and exploitation. Our work does not stop here, and we will continue to seek maximum justice for this brave survivor.”
