The investigation began on July 3, when Haralson County Inv. Nicole Wilson received a Cybertip through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children portal.
Officials said the tip involved six uploads of child sexual abuse material linked to a KIK account.
Inv. Wilson traced the KIK account to 54-year-old Tommy Smith, who resides in Bremen. This led to a search warrant being served on Smith’s home last Monday.
