 On Nov. 18, the Gordon County Sheriff's Office received a tip about a man who possessed child pornography. Authorities identified the suspect as 49-year-old Charlie William Wright Jr. and arrested him at his home on Beamer Circle in Calhoun. He was charged with one count of sexual exploitation of a minor. 

Detectives said they later found evidence that Wright had "home-made" other child pornography involving a 2-year-old and investigators executed five search warrants on electronic devices while gathering video evidence.
