Child porn, 'pedophile manual' found encrypted on man's electronic devices, investigators say

Coweta County man arrested and found with a pedophile manual, deputies say

Coweta County Sheriff's officials say they arrested Joshua Allwine, 44, as they discovered he was in possession of a "how to manual for sexually exploiting children, including infants." Authorities say Allwine is being charged with possession of child pornography.

COWETA COUTNY, Ga. - A Peachtree City man was arrested after Coweta County deputies said investigators found child pornography on his computer.

Joshua Allwine, 44, was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography. More charges are pending.

Investigator Casey Mullis in the computer lab at the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office is the one who unlocked the heavy encryption on Allwine’s electronic devices. Investigators said the images found on his laptop and home computer were dark and disturbing. They contained mostly thousands of images of child pornography that investigators said he thought was well-hidden, well-protected and could never be found by law enforcement.

Investigator Mullis said he also found something equally disturbing in the computer files. Investigators said it was a manual on how to recruit and sexually victimize children, including infants. Deputies said a printing of that manual filled a big binder, over a thousand pages, 28 chapters. Some of those chapter titles include "Finding Children" and "How to Recruit Single Moms." Investigators said the book itself, while shocking and worrisome, is not illegal.
