A Jefferson man was arrested Thursday on charges of sexual exploitation of children after law enforcement officers found electronic equipment in his home with photos of young children.
Lolan Ernest Reeves, 33, River Mist Circle, Jefferson, was charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of children, according to Jefferson police chief Joe Wirthman. A large quantity of electronic equipment, DVDs and CDs were removed from the home.
Reeves was charged after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation received a tip. The investigation is continuing by the Jefferson Police Department and the GBI.
Happening to come across something like this on the internet can also be construed as a crime. I don't think many people would want the government snooping in their hard drive. Accidental exposure to this stuff is also very possible, if not probable.
Remember, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Things don't look too good for this guy though.
