Dye’Shuan Green
Convicted by guilty plea and sentenced. Dye’Shuan Green, a 23-year-old man from College Park, Georgia, was sentenced to 16 years and 10 months in federal prison for producing child sexual abuse material after posing as a boy online to pressure young girls — some as young as nine years old — into sending him sexually explicit photos and videos. He pleaded guilty to five federal counts in June 2026 and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Sarah E. Geraghty on October 13, 2026.
Introduction
Dye’Shuan Green is a College Park, Georgia man who spent years posing as a boy on social media and gaming sites to befriend young girls and pressure them into producing sexually explicit images of themselves. The girls he targeted were as young as nine years old, and a review of his phone and social media accounts showed that he had chatted online with hundreds of young girls as part of his scheme.
On October 13, 2026, U.S. District Judge Sarah E. Geraghty sentenced Green, then 23, to 16 years and 10 months in federal prison to be followed by 15 years of supervised release, after he pleaded guilty to one count of production of child sexual abuse material and four counts of enticement to create child sexual abuse material.
Background Information
Public reporting on Green is limited to the Justice Department’s account of his case. He was 23 years old at sentencing and lived in College Park, Georgia.
The case began in 2022, when a mother in Columbus, Georgia reported to the Columbus Police Department that her daughter had been manipulated by a man posing as a child online into sending nude images of herself. The FBI then opened what became a multi-year investigation, which revealed that Green had preyed on young girls across the country. It was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the Columbus Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Matthew R. LaGrone and Leanne M. Marek.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
The incident that led to Green’s prosecution was his systematic exploitation of young girls online. The investigation established that Green targeted young girls on social media and gaming sites and pretended that he was a boy their age. He befriended them, convinced them that he loved them and wanted a relationship with them, and discussed having sex with them.
Green then relentlessly begged and threatened his victims to produce sexually explicit photos of themselves to send him, and many girls sent nude images to him. A review of his phone and social media accounts showed that he chatted online with hundreds of young girls as part of the scheme — a scale of victimization that stretched across the country.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The public response came through officials who worked the case. U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said: “The Court’s sentence holds a predator accountable for his reprehensible acts and ensures he won’t victimize another child for most of the next two decades,” adding, “This case also serves as a reminder to parents and caretakers about the dangers deviant criminals like Green pose to young people online.”
Marlo Graham, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, said: “Posing as a child and then pressuring children, among the most vulnerable members of our society, to produce sexually explicit and harmful material is unconscionable,” adding that “The FBI, alongside our local, state, and federal partners, will relentlessly work to bring justice to the victims and their families.”
The direct consequences for Green were the loss of his freedom: he pleaded guilty on June 29, 2026, and received a nearly 17-year prison sentence followed by 15 years of supervised release. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a Justice Department initiative launched in February 2006 to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.
Current Status
Green is serving his sentence of 16 years and 10 months in federal prison, imposed on October 13, 2026, to be followed by 15 years of supervised release. He is a convicted federal sex offender, having pleaded guilty to one count of production of child sexual abuse material and four counts of enticement to create child sexual abuse material.
Impact on Their Career/Life
Whatever life Green had before his arrest is effectively over for the next two decades: the sentence keeps him incarcerated into his early forties, with 15 years of supervised release extending federal oversight into middle age. The felony convictions for producing and enticing child sexual abuse material will follow him permanently.
