Columbia Police Join Tennessee Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Make First Child Exploitation Arrest

Share

Columbia, TN (August 3, 2026) – In July of 2026, The Columbia Police Department took a step forward in its efforts in targeting offenders who are focused on preying on innocent children by joining the Tennessee Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Taskforce.


After joining the ICAC taskforce, we received our first tip through the ICAC information center and on Friday, July 31st, 2026, investigators and officers with The Columbia Police Department in conjunction with Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Taskforce executed a search warrant in Columbia in relation to alleged sexual exploitation of a minor.


This investigation resulted in the arrest of a forty-six-year-old male who had previously been convicted of sexual related crimes against children and is on the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry. Currently this individual has been charged with Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and Especially Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and is currently incarcerated in The Maury County Jail. Additional charges will be forthcoming after investigators analyze all evidence obtained during the execution of the search warrant.

What People Are Saying

"In 2013, the Lewisburg Animal Shelter Volunteers began a twice-weekly program on WJJM called “Marshall County Pet Patrol”. The purpose was two-fold, first to talk about new intakes with the hope of finding their rightful owners and second, to help find adopters by describing all of our current residents in detail. The results have far exceeded our expectations, and thanks in a big way to our radio exposure our adoption rates have increased significantly. Thank you to the entire staff at WJJM, and our sponsor, Veterinary Services of Chapel Hill…together we are saving the lives of precious fur babies."

"I wanted to just take a moment to say thank you to Jeff and Missie and the rest of the people at the station for everything they do to help out myself and the rest of the county... for a guy that always seems to wait to remember that something needed to be put on the Community Calendar till the very last minute for the Forrest band of blue or something going on like a meet and greet at my store... Missie has never hesitated for a second to tell me she would make it happen... so from the very bottom of my heart THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO."
