    LaGrange police arrested a man for sexual battery and multiple counts of child exploitation following an assault during a massage.

    Police began investigating after they received a report of sexual assault that occurred in the city of LaGrange on August 17, 2025.

    Following the investigation by the Criminal Investigations Division, investigators determined that 33-year-old Christopher L. Hudson agreed to provide a massage service for an undisclosed adult female.

    “During the massage services, Hudson began making unwanted sexual contact with the female,” police said.

    During the investigation, Child Sexual Abuse Material, CSAM, was located on Hudson’s phone.

    Hudson was taken into custody on September 29th, 2025, and transported to the Troup County Jail for Sexual Battery, Aggravated Sexual Battery, and fourteen counts of Computer or Electronic Pornography and Child Exploitation.

    The LaGrange Police Department encourages anyone with information that may assist in these investigations to reach out directly to Detective Harris by calling 706-883-2620.

    Alternatively, individuals who wish to remain anonymous can submit tips through the Tip411 system. This can be done via the mobile application, through the online portal, or by texting the keyword LAGRANGE to 847411.
