Waynesboro, GA. – On Wednesday, May 13, 2020, registered sex offender William Thomas Voss, 37, of Waynesboro, GA, was arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the Burke County Sheriff’s Office, on an active warrant for one count of Sexual Exploitation of Children (Possession of Child Pornography). An investigation into Voss by the GBI began after information was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding the possible upload and possession of child pornography by Voss to a social media application. 

Voss is currently being held at the Burke County Jail. This is an active investigation and further charges may be pending.

This investigation is part of the ongoing effort by the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, housed within the GBI’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit, to identify those involved in the child pornography trade. The ICAC Program, created by the U. S. Department of Justice, was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the proliferation of child pornography, and the heightened online activity by predators searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims.

Anyone with information about this case or any other cases of child exploitation is asked to contact the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit at 404-270-8870.
