Attorney General Chris Carr recently announced that his office filed a formal accusation in Cobb County charging Roger L. Curry, 77, with Pandering and Sexual Battery.

Curry, who is an attorney with Roger L. Curry, P.C. in Marietta, is alleged to have solicited sexual acts from a client.  

What specifically has Curry been charged with? On August 28, AG Carr’s Prosecution Division filed an accusation in Cobb County Superior Court, charging Curry with three counts of pandering and one count of sexual battery. 

Curry was taken into custody by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on April 29, 2026, and this case was investigated by the GBI’s Human Exploitation and Trafficking (HEAT) Unit.    

The Attorney General's Office will not release further information about the investigation or the accusation at this time.  

What key figures had to say:

  • AG Chris Carr: “These are serious allegations that will not be tolerated, no matter who is involved. We’re proud to have worked with the GBI on this case, and we will ensure those responsible are held fully accountable for their actions.” 
  • GBI Director Chris Hosey: “Our Human Exploitation and Trafficking (HEAT) Unit works closely with our local, state, and federal partners to investigate human trafficking and protect victims from further exploitation. Undercover operations are a critical tool in these investigations, helping us expose those who abuse positions of trust and exploit vulnerable individuals. We will continue to pursue these offenders and hold them accountable.” 

Further Context: Members of the public are being advised to keep in mind that an accusation contains only allegations against the individual against whom the accusation is filed. 

A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and it will be the state’s burden at trial to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the allegations contained in the accusation.
