Tunnel Hill officer faces child sex charge

ROSWELL, Georgia (WDEF) – A law enforcement officer in northwest Georgia has been charged with a sex crime.

Abraham Galvan was a part time officer for Tunnel Hill police.

But police in Roswell, Georgia have charged him in an undercover operation targeting child predators.

They say he traveled to a Roswell shopping center to have sex with a 14 year old girl.

Their investigators say Galvan initiated contact online with a person who he believed was a juvenile and set up a meeting.

Chief Roy Brunson from the Tunnel Hill department says Galvan worked limited hours and was still on his initial probationary period.

So he was immediately terminated.
