On 04/23/2024
at approximately 0856 hrs, I, Ofc. Tam, responded via telephone to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] in reference to Obscene Communications.
I made with the caller [REDACTED BY AGENCY] who advised that she received a Facebook message from [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Joseph Lewis, with an inappropriate video of [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she received the message at approximately 0100 hrs this date. She stated that she later received a video call from Joseph where he told her he would post the video on social media. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated that he did not tell her why he sent the video to her and approximately seven other family members and friends of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] or post it to social media.
I made with [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. She stated they do not have any children together and that she had previously blocked him from ing her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] had moved back to Warner Robins after an incident in Ludowici, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] She is currently staying with her Aunt [REDACTED BY AGENCY], until she finds her own residence.
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she did not consent to the video being made and when she initially discovered that he took it, told her he deleted it, but he evidently did not. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] The video shows [REDACTED BY AGENCY] face but not Joseph’s. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised she did wish to press charges. I was able to obtain the names, phone numbers, and relationship to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] of six of the seven individuals Joseph sent the messages to from [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. The individuals are as follows:
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] Great-grandfather
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] Great-grandmother
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] other
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] Aunt
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] friend
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] Brother
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she would need to have someone to go assist [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with sending the screenshots of the messages to me as they are older. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] also advised that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] currently live in New Jersey. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] current boyfriend, who [REDACTED BY AGENCY] knows as “[REDACTED]”, declined to provide his information and advisee [REDACTED BY AGENCY] that he received the message via Instagram and has since blocked Joseph. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] wrote the information on a statement form which I will turn into Property as Evidence.
I provided [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with this case number and advised her how to obtain a copy of this report. I also provided [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with my Warner Robins PD email in order for her to send me screenshots of the messages and call log as well as the video and Joseph’s Facebook Profile page. I also asked her to have all other individuals who had the video sent to them to email me their messages as well. I will attach these to this report when available.
A record preservation request to Facebook was completed. I will complete a warrant for Joseph’s Facebook records.
