MARIETTA, Ga. — A Mableton man is in jail after police said they arrested him last Tuesday for attempting to buy a 12-year-old girl for sex.
Justin Caleb Cook was arrested at the West Park Government Center in the 700 block of Whitlock Avenue in Marietta, which also houses the SafePath Children's Advocacy Center. It is not known whether Cook was actually arrested at the government center or at the children's center.
According to a criminal warrant, Cook "did attempt to purchase a 12-year-old female child for the purpose of sexual intercourse."
Cook was charged with felony trafficking of persons for sexual servitude.
Bond was denied as Cook was deemed to be a danger to a person or community. He remains in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.
