Child Porn, Pot Possession Charges Filed Against Gwinnett Man

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — A Lawrenceville man has been charged with five counts of sexual exploitation of children for possession of child pornography, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Travis Clark, 24, of Lawrenceville, was arrested Friday after the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office served a warrant to search his home on Hemlock Drive. The discovery of child pornography led to the five counts against Clark, according to the GBI statement.

While there, authorities also found marijuana being grown. Both Clark and another resident of the home — Keith Whitaker, 57 — were charged by the Gwinnett sheriff's office with two counts of manufacturing and possession of marijuana, according to the GBI statement. Whitaker was not charged with any counts related to child pornography.

Whitaker was released Monday from the Gwinnett County Jail on $5,700 bond. As of Tuesday, Clark remains in jail without bond.
