DeKalb County man charged with sexual exploitation of children
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A DeKalb County man is facing charges in connection with a child exploitation case.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation tells FOX 5 they arrested 43-year-old Lithonia resident Ronald Melton on Dec. 11.
Officials say they began an investigation into Melton's online activity in February after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about the possible possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material.
The investigation eventually led to agents searching Melton's home and his arrest.
Melton was booked at the DeKalb County Jail and charged with sexual exploitation of children.
