Appeals court upholds child exploitation verdict in PTC case
The Georgia Court of Appeals has upheld the guilty verdict from a jury that convicted a Clayton County man of soliciting sex online from an undercover Peachtree City police officer whom he thought was a 15-year-old girl.
Mohammed Bolton, 37, was convicted in March 2006 by a Fayette County Jury.
When he was arrested in October 2005, police said that Bolton was a youth minister at Harvest International Church in Jonesboro and also was a school bus driver.
In his appeal, Bolton challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to convict him and alleged that his trial counsel was deficient for not seeking a jury charge on entrapment.
On the jury charge matter, the court’s opinion noted that Bolton could not have argued entrapment as a defense because he failed to admit to the crime of violating the state’s computer pornography and child exploitation statute.
