An Atlanta man, Rico Curry, was arrested in Savannah and transported back to Bulloch County on one count of Enticing a Child for Indecent Purposes. Curry had sent various sexually graphic and suggestive texts to a juvenile female. By the time her mother found the messages, she had already given permission for the girl and her sister, both juveniles, to accompany Curry on an overnight trip to Savannah. Detectives with the Statesboro Police Department reached out to the Chatham County Police Department for assistance. CCPD officers located and arrested Curry. He was later transferred to the Bulloch County Jail, where he remains pending further judicial action. The juveniles were returned safely to their mother.
From SPD:
On 6/21/25 SPD officers spoke with the mother of a juvenile female who had concerns about the juvenile’s online contact with an adult male family member. The mother had accessed her daughter’s I-pad and located various texts from the adult male, later identified as Rico Curry (37, Atlanta, Ga), which were sexually graphic and suggestive. By the time she found the messages, the mother had already given permission for her two daughters, both juveniles, to accompany Curry on an overnight trip to Savannah.
Given the clear intent of the messages, detectives were extremely concerned that the juveniles would become the victims of a much more serious crime. Working with phone service providers they were able to determine that Curry and the juveniles were located in the area of Skidaway Island. Detectives reached out to the Chatham County Police Department for assistance and those officers immediately began the search. Several hours later, CCPD officers were able to locate and arrest Curry and return the juveniles safely to their mother. Curry was booked into the Chatham County Jail and later transferred back to Bulloch County. He is charged with one count of Enticing a Child for Indecent Purposes. He remains in custody pending further judicial action.
The Statesboro Police Department would like to thank the Chatham County Police Department for the quick assistance its officers provided.
