International effort leads to arrest & guilty plea of sexual predator from Georgia

BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A Georgia man enters a guilty plea to sexually exploiting a minor and distributing child pornography.

Stephen A. Keating, 52, was charged with four counts related to his production of several pornographic images of children. State prosecutors presented evidence of the Jesup man molesting three children and videotaping the acts. Investigators say the crime took place several times in 2010 and 2011.

Keating was implicated in the crime during the arrest of a sex offender in Denmark. This case was a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative from the Department of Justice.
