MARSHALL COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) -- A Shelbyville man has been arrested for sexual exploitation of a minor through the work of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) Internet Crimes Against Children squad and Homeland Security Investigations.
According to the TBI, special agents received a cybertip on Oct. 5 through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children from an internet service provider of what appeared to be newly-produced child sexual abuse material.
Officials said the investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at a home in Marshall County, as well as the identification of the child in the images.
In addition, the TBI said investigators determined 30-year-old Mitchell J. Tompkins was the person responsible for the images.
The Marshall County Grand Jury indicted Tompkins last week on two counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, along with one count of sexual exploitation of a minor, according to authorities.
Tompkins was served on those charges at the Marshall County Jail, where he is reportedly being held on an unrelated charge as of Wednesday, Nov. 22.
