COLUMBIA, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Tennessee man was arrested after Columbia police received a tip from the Tennessee Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce, which they joined in July.
The man, whose name has not been released, was arrested after police executed a search warrant in relation to alleged sexual exploitation of a minor. The 46-year-old man had been previously convicted of sexual crimes against children and is on the Sex Offender Registry, according to police.
He is charged with Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and Especially Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. Investigators say more charges will be forthcoming after they analyze all evidence.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
