A former Walton County associate probate judge, who also served as a special assistant attorney general and family law attorney, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempted online enticement of a minor, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Georgia announced Wednesday.
The charge against George Randolph "Randy" Jeffery, 59, stemmed from multiple online communications with a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl, federal investigators said.
Jeffery—whose practice in Monroe included advising clients on child support, adoption and family law—was actually communicating with the teen girl's father, who himself was molesting his daughter and sending pornographic images of her to Jeffery while posing as her online, investigators said.
