Memphis โ A Memphis man has been arrested for producing disturbing videos of child sexual abuse involving two 8-year-old girls. The suspect, 34-year-old Justin Wynn, was taken into custody on July 28, 2025, following a cyber tip from Google that led authorities to identify his residential address.
According to the Memphis Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the investigation was initiated when Google reported that a user account had uploaded multiple videos containing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Officers subsequently traced these videos back to Wynn’s home.
Authorities discovered that Wynn had recorded a total of 20 videos showing him engaging in sexual contact with the young girls. In addition, investigators found more explicit content in Wynn’s possession, which depicted toddlers involved in sexual acts or behaviors.
During questioning, Wynn admitted to both recording the children and possessing CSAM. Following his confession, he was charged with several serious offenses, including especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, aggravated sexual battery, and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Wynn is currently being held in Shelby County Jail with a bond set at $150,000. His initial court appearance is scheduled for August 13, 2025.
The joint investigation that led to Wynn’s arrest was aided by collaboration between the Memphis Police Department and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This partnership has been crucial in addressing the growing threats posed by internet crimes against children.
Child sexual abuse has become a pressing concern in our society, with authorities emphasizing the importance of vigilance and reporting suspicious online behavior. Cases like this highlight ongoing efforts to combat such exploitation and ensure the safety of vulnerable children.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has also noted an increase in the reported incidents of child sexual exploitation, particularly with the rise of digital technology and social media platforms. They encourage parents and guardians to remain aware of the content their children consume online and to educate them about the potential dangers present in the digital world.
Alongside the Memphis Police Department, various organizations are advocating for stronger legislative measures, increased resources for victim support, and community awareness programs to prevent child exploitation. These efforts aim not only to bring offenders to justice but also to equip communities with the tools necessary to detect and prevent such crimes.
The investigation into Justin Wynn’s activities remains ongoing, as authorities continue to pursue leads and examine evidence related to the case. This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the persistent threat posed by individuals who exploit the innocence of children and the critical importance of collaborative law enforcement efforts.
