< Back GWINNETT COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE ARRESTS CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER FOLLOWING OPERATION GCSO Jan 9, 2026 News Release (Gwinnett County, Ga., January 8, 2026) – On January 7, 2026, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office arrested convicted sex offender, Tarek Mentouri, following an operation led by the GCSO Jail Investigation Unit and Trafficking and Child Exploitation (TRACE) Unit. Mentouri was previously arrested in November 2025, after requesting video visitation with a female inmate at the Gwinnett County Jail using false identification. He was charged with Unlawful to Possess, Display, or Use Any False, Fraudulent, or Altered Identification Document. He was later released on bond. In December 2025, GCSO investigators received information that Mentouri was posting advertisements for massage therapy services on multiple websites. Following the operation, it was determined that he was allegedly operating a massage business without a valid license and had failed to register his employment as required by Georgia law for sex offenders. Mentouri has now been charged with two counts of Unlawful Advertisement or Practice of Massage Therapy, Unlicensed Massage Therapy, and Failure to Register as a Sex Offender/Failure to Comply with Requirements/Providing False Information. He remains in custody at the Gwinnett County Jail without bond. This is an active and ongoing investigation. Click here to view mugshot.
