The Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office is committed to protecting children and holding offenders accountable through lawful investigation and prosecution.

So-called “catch a predator” vigilante groups can interfere with legitimate investigations and jeopardize the legal process. If you suspect child exploitation or abuse, contact your local law enforcement agency immediately so trained professionals can properly investigate the matter and prosecutors can pursue accountability through the courts.

We urge vigilante groups to stand down and allow law enforcement to do its job. Anyone who jeopardizes an investigation may also face prosecution if they break the law.

Deputy nearly paralyzed in shooting says he’s thankful shooter found guilty

District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson took some time to chat with some of the members of the 2026 class of the Junior DA/Investigator Mentorship Program.

The Gwinnett District Attorney’s Office mourns the loss of Gwinnett Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Deborah R. Fluker, who passed away after a courageous battle with cancer.

Judge Fluker served with unwavering integrity, a deep knowledge of the law, and a steadfast commitment to fairness for all. She held legal professionals in her courtroom to a higher standard, making them better for it.

Even during her illness, she remained dedicated to the bench, reflecting remarkable strength and devotion to justice.

She was held in the highest regard by this Office and the broader legal community. Judge Fluker’s legacy of dignity, fairness, and service will endure, and she will be deeply missed.
