My Father used to say that you didn’t have to be bright to be a criminal- I guess he was right! From CNN

Federal authorities believe Crane has been engaging in sex acts with young
girls at his home and in his truck since at least 1999.

“The complaint indicates that Crane paid the girls based on the sex act
they allowed him to perform and for getting other girls to engage in sex acts
with him,” he said. “We want to identify the other victims shown in the
photographs and any additional girls who were sexually exploited.”

An employee of a photo processing company alerted Atlanta police about Crane in 2000, saying he was concerned about photos he developed for him.

The pictures, including images of the 11 girls believed to be between the
ages of 12 and 15, were given to police between 2000 and 2002 by the photo
processing company, Nahmias said. They were not turned over to federal
authorities, however, until last month.

In 2003, Crane’s wife, Atlanta police Sgt. Tanya Crane, “allegedly got a call
from an unidentified person at APD headquarters that APD had photographs of her
husband engaged in sexually explicit conduct with young girls,” said the
statement from Nahmias’ office.

“Crane’s wife said she found some explicit photographs in her house and
burned the photographs and negatives.”
