FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. — A Franklin Springs man has been arrested following a child exploitation investigation involving the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, investigators executed a search warrant Thursday, May 7, at a residence located at 224 College Heights in Franklin Springs. Authorities said the warrant stemmed from a tip received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Parker has been charged with six counts related to the distribution of child pornography, authorities said.
