Coffee County Authorities Warn of Cyber Predator

The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office issued a warning for parents about a cyber predator who is targeting young girls on social media.
Investigators said the man has contacted several children within the county. The messages sent to the girls are described by the sheriff’s office as crude, sexual, and threatening. The person has also sent lewd photos, investigators said.
The sheriff’s office has encouraged parents to pay close attention to their child’s cell phone. Investigators recommended, if possible, that parents suspend their child’s use of social media until the man is caught.
Making the case even more frustrating for investigators, the man has posted to the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
At this point, investigators were unclear whether the man actually lives in Tennessee.
