STEPHENS COUNTY, Georgia (WYFF) — A man in Stephens County, Georgia, has been arrested for allegedly possessing video containing child sexual abuse and bestiality.
On Monday, the Stephens County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the FBI Atlanta-Gainesville Resident Agency about an ongoing case where a suspect was determined to live in Stephens County.
After an arrest was made by the FBI Pittsburgh Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force in Pennsylvania, the FBI Atlanta-Gainesville office received information about 59-year-old Jimmie Dominici, Jr. of Toccoa.
During the investigation, agents discovered messages between Dominici and the suspect in Pennsylvania containing child pornography. These messages were sent between the months of February through August 2025.
According to authorities, the subject matter of the messages was sexual in nature, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and videos of subjects engaging in bestiality.
Investigators confirmed the material included CSAM and bestiality. Videos contained inappropriate material of children ranging in age from four months old to eight years old, as well as various incidents involving dogs.
Around 1 p.m. Wednesday, authorities arrested Dominici and searched his home on Cawthon Road. During the search, investigators found and collected various electronic devices to be analyzed at a later date.
Dominici was booked into the Stephens County Jail on three counts of sexual exploitation of children and bestiality.
Deputies said through further information obtained from the FBI, it was determined that the 4-month old in the video was positively identified and rescued. The suspect involved was arrested in Ohio on sexual assault charges.
The sheriff’s office said the investigation is ongoing and future charges may be pending.
