Chattanooga Man Pleads Guilty To Attempted Sexual Contact With 14-Year-Old In Georgia
Brandon James McGarvey-Rogers, a Chattanooga resident, pled guilty to attempting sexual contact with a 14-year-old child in Georgia, receiving a 20-year sentence in Catoosa County Superior Court. Judge Brian House mandated that McGarvey-Rogers serve seven years in the Georgia Department of Corrections, followed by probation under strict sex offender conditions. The case began when McGarvey-Rogers used Snapchat to send sexually explicit images and messages to the minor, who had clearly stated their age. This incident underscores the risks associated with digital communication platforms and the need for vigilance in protecting children online. Local authorities have emphasized the importance of monitoring children's online interactions to prevent such predatory behaviors.
The severity of the sentence reflects a commitment to safeguarding minors and deterring similar offenses in the future.
