Dye'Shuan Green Sentenced to Federal Prison for Child Exploitation

Dye'Shuan Green, a 23-year-old man from College Park, Georgia, has been sentenced to nearly 17 years in federal prison for his role in producing child sexual abuse material. The sentencing, handed down by U. S.

District Judge Sarah E. Geraghty on October 13, 2026, also includes 15 years of supervised release following his prison term.

Green's conviction comes after he pleaded guilty on June 29, 2026, to one count of production of child sexual abuse material and four counts of enticement to create such material. The charges stem from his manipulation of young girls, some as young as nine years old, whom he pressured into sending him sexually explicit photos and videos online.

Investigation and Charges

The case was brought to light in 2022 when a mother in Columbus, Georgia, reported to the Columbus Police Department that her daughter had been coerced by a man posing as a child online. This report led to a multi-year investigation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from the Columbus Police Department.

According to the U. S. Attorney's Office, the investigation revealed that Green targeted young girls across the country through social media and gaming sites.

He posed as a boy their age, befriending them and convincing them that he loved them. Green discussed having sexual relationships with the girls and pressured them to produce and send him sexually explicit images. A review of Green's phone and social media accounts showed that he had communicated with hundreds of young girls as part of his scheme.

Sentencing and Remarks

U. S. Attorney Theodore S.

Hertzberg commented on the sentencing, stating, "The Court’s sentence holds a predator accountable for his reprehensible acts and ensures he won’t victimize another child for most of the next two decades." Marlo Graham, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, added, "Posing as a child and then pressuring children, among the most vulnerable members of our society, to produce sexually explicit and harmful material is unconscionable."

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Matthew R. LaGrone and Leanne M. Marek and was part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 to protect children from online exploitation and abuse. This initiative is led by the United States Attorney’s Offices and marshals federal, state, and local resources to apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children.
