justice

Jahaundria Seabron has pleaded guilty to trafficking a 16-year-old female in DeKalb County in December 2020. T

Seabron, 27, of College Park, was sentenced to 30 years, with 18 years to be served in prison. Seabron currently faces separate human trafficking charges in Fulton County in a case that stems from the rescue of a 14-year-old female in February 2021.

On May 15, 2023, Jahaundria Seabron pleaded guilty to four counts of Trafficking of Persons for Sexual Servitude in violation of O.C.G.A. § 16-5-46(c), for the following acts:

Knowingly transporting a person under the age of 18 years for the purpose of sexual servitude;
Knowingly harboring a person under the age of 18 years for the purpose of sexual servitude;
Knowingly providing a person under the age of 18 years for the purpose of sexual servitude; and
Knowingly benefitting financially from the sexual servitude of a person under the age of 18 years.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Kaitlyn Fain Salinas with the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit.

In September 2022, Carr announced that the office’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit had opened a new case against Jahaundria Seabron and another defendant, Courdale Thayer. An investigation conducted by Chief Human Trafficking Investigator Bryan Kimbell, Investigator Jason Arsenault, and Investigator Frances Reyes led to the discovery of potential victims who were identified only by an image and a nickname. In continuing with their investigation, the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit was able to identify and later interviewed the 16-year-old female related to this case in DeKalb County.

On Nov. 29, 2022, Jahaundria Seabron and Courdale Thayer were indicted in DeKalb County. The State’s case against Courdale Thayer in DeKalb County remains active and ongoing.

At the time of Jahaundria Seabron and Courdale Thayer’s indictment in DeKalb County, the pair were already facing charges in Fulton County as part of a separate sex trafficking case involving another minor victim.

In late 2021, both Jahaundria Seabron and Courdale Thayer were arrested following an extensive 10-month investigation that led to the rescue of a 14-year-old female. The Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit initiated its investigation after reviewing an alert issued by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. From this alert, Chief Human Trafficking Investigator Bryan Kimbell was able to identify, locate and rescue the underage female. The victim had been missing from the College Park area for approximately seven weeks at the time of her recovery in February 2021.

In January 2022, Jahaundria Seabron and Courdale Thayer were indicted in Fulton County. The State’s case against both Jahaundria Seabron and Courdale Thayer in Fulton County remains active and ongoing.
