The interim director of the Georgia State Senate, Alexander Azarian, 52, is accused of exploiting minor children through private messages since 2007. Azarian has been charged with two felony counts of child pornography.
Azarian admitted to owning the email address that was associated with the criminal exploitation of minors before requested to speak to legal counsel.
Yahoo provided The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children with the information the email address was sending and receiving child sexual abuse material. On July 28, 2022, a search of Azarian’s residence provided evidence of child sexual abuse material on Azarian’s phone.
The evidence showed that Azarian received images of children performing sexual activity and he also shared those images with another individual. Recent news articles referenced Azarian as “A man who works with lawmakers in the Georgia State Senate,” or “Former interim director of the Georgia State Senate.” However, that portrays a different image of Azarian’s employment status at the time of his arrest. Just last week, the Georgia State Senate was informed of Azarian’s arrest and a new interim director was named. This wording is often used when police officers and public officials are arrested, the suspect is often referred to as a “former” employee or official. Azarian has worked for the Georgia State Senate since 1999.
Azarian has since been released from jail on a $70,000 bond.
To report child sexual abuse material, you can contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
