WAGONER COUNTY, Okla. — The Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Georgia man following an online predator operation.
They say the operation was conducted on September 15 and 16 in partnership with the nonprofit Safe from Online Sex Abuse, which works with law enforcement to identify and investigate individuals suspected of online child sex abuse and exploitation.
Investigators with Wagoner County say Gregory D. Smith of Warner Robins, Georgia, had contacted a decoy that was posing as a 14-year-old girl, who was deployed by the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office confidential informants. The informant said Smith contacted the decoy on apps such as Snapchat and KiK. The talks turned sexual after a short time.
Smith agreed to meet the decoy in person by driving from Oklahoma City where he was working a construction job. When he arrived in Wagoner County, he was located by investigators and taken into custody.
