WAVERLY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Waverly man is facing dozens of felony charges following a grand jury indictment related to an investigation into child sexual exploitation.
According to a press release from the Waverly Department of Public Safety, James Tyler Dabbs, 33, was indicted Monday by a Humphreys County Grand Jury on 68 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Authorities said the charges stem from an investigation by the Waverly Police Department, after multiple explicit images and videos were allegedly discovered on Dabbs’ electronic devices during the execution of a search warrant.
Dabbs is being held on a $750,000 bond at the Humphreys County Jail.
Police said the investigation remains active. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Ron Netterville with the Waverly Police Department.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
