Knoxville Man Indicted on 16 Child Exploitation Counts

A Knox County grand jury indicted Knoxville resident Jeremy Todd White on 16 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe into allegations involving two girls. Investigators say searches of electronic devices uncovered numerous images of child sexual abuse material. White, identified by the TBI as a convicted sex offender, was arrested and booked into the Knox County Jail on a $180,000 bond. The investigation is ongoing, and agents believe digital evidence may point to additional victims; the TBI is seeking information from the public.
