COLLEGE PARK, GA — A 23-year-old College Park man has been sentenced to nearly 17 years in federal prison for pressuring young girls, some as young as nine years old, into sending sexually explicit images and videos.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Atlanta, the investigation began in 2022 after a mother in Columbus reported that her daughter had been manipulated into sending nude images of herself to a man posing as a child online.

A multiyear investigation by the FBI revealed that Dye’Shuan Green had targeted hundreds of young girls across the country.

Green was sentenced to nearly 17 years in federal prison for his actions.
