UPSON COUNTY, Ga. — An Upson County man is facing eight counts of sexual exploitation of children.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit began an investigation into John Howard Booker, 30, after they received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about the possible online possession and distribution of child pornography.

That investigation led to a search warrant at Booker’s home in 2023.
