ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A Putnam County man has been arrested on child pornography charges, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). On Wednesday, the GBI said it had arrested Jason Hicks, 55, of Eatonton, on eight counts of sexual exploitation of children. The GBI’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes (CEACC) Unit began investigating Hicks in May after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding the possession of child sexual abuse material, the GBI said. The investigation led agents to execute a search warrant at Hicks’ home and arrest him. Hicks was booked into the Putnam County Jail. The GBI said the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the investigation. Copyright 2026 WANF. All rights reserved.
