Louderback is being held without bail
FRONT ROYAL, Va. — After a two-month investigation into an online child exploitation case, police arrested an Edinburg man.
The Front Royal Police Department (FRPD), with the assistance of the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO), executed a search warrant and arrest in Edinburg on February 10, 2025.
The investigation began in early December 2024 after a complaint was filed regarding online sexual conversations with an individual believed to be under 15 years of age.
FRPD detectives conducted an undercover investigation, assumed the identity of a juvenile female, and engaged in online communication with the suspect, who was eventually identified as Guy Leon Louderback, III.
Louderback, 24, was arrested and transported to RSW Regional Jail, where he is being held without bail pending court proceedings.
