GA Church Staffer Accused Of Owning Child Sexual Abuse Material

ROSWELL, GA — A Dunwoody church staffer has been arrested after being accused of owning child sexual abuse material, Roswell Police said Tuesday.

The probe into 59-year-old Ralph Britt Jr., of Johns Creek, began on Feb. 10 after the local suspected transmission of peer-to-peer file-sharing networks, police said.

Detectives searched Britt's home Wednesday, when police said multiple electronics were seized and additional child sexual abuse material was located.

Police said Britt was arrested without incident that same day at a Dunwoody church, where police said he has been employed and working with the youth for at least 20 years.

Britt was charged on suspicion of nine counts of sexual exploitation of children and was booked into the Fulton County Jail, police said.
