Investigators got a warrant for Lukos’ cell phone and tablet, which were seized during a search of his home on June 26.
The search by investigators found at least 500 individual images and videos on Lukos’ devices show minors engaged in explicit acts, leading to the new charges.
HCSO said Lukos now faces 510 felony charges and he remains in custody without bond at the Hall County Jail.
Sheriff’s office staff said in a statement that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation helped with the investigation after cybertips came in from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
