Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said that the 15-year-old survivor in a human trafficking case “deserves nothing less than maximum justice.” He emphasized his team’s commitment to pursuing traffickers, adding, “if you come after our children, we’re coming for you.”
“This survivor deserves nothing less than maximum justice, and that’s exactly what we intend to deliver,” said General Chris Carr. “We have built an elite team to track down traffickers in this state, and we won’t rest until every offender is behind bars. With each new case, we’re sending a message that if you come after our children, we’re coming for you.”
Christopher Clark, 27, from Riverdale, Georgia, has been indicted on charges of human trafficking, forcible rape, and false imprisonment involving a 15-year-old survivor in Clayton County. According to Carr’s office, the case was initially closed by local authorities but was reopened by the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit after its establishment in 2019. Since then, the unit has successfully convicted four individuals involved in trafficking the same minor, including her primary seller Theodore Browne Jr., who received a 70-year prison sentence in 2023.
Following these convictions, Carr’s unit continued its investigation to identify additional perpetrators. Clark is alleged to have purchased the survivor for sex and forcibly raped her inside his home while holding her in a bathroom for some time. Evidence presented to a Clayton County grand jury led to his indictment in July 2025 on charges of trafficking for sexual servitude, rape, and false imprisonment.
In 2019, Carr established Georgia’s first statewide Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit with support from Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp. Since its inception, the unit has secured over 60 convictions and assisted more than 200 children. Recently, it expanded by adding a prosecutor and two investigators in Macon and Augusta through funding from the state’s fiscal year budgets for 2025 and 2026.
Carr was appointed as Georgia’s attorney general by then-Governor Nathan Deal in 2016 and re-elected in November 2022. Since assuming office, he has focused on addressing issues such as human trafficking, gang activity, and opioid misuse. Prior to this role, Carr served as Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development under Governor Deal from November 2013 to November 2016.
