Ex-sheriff's deputy arrested on child porn charge
A former deputy with the White County Sheriff's Office was arrested Thursday on charges of producing child pornography, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
Christopher Thomas Davis, 32, of Dahlonega is accused of taking photos of a 7-year-old girl engaged in sexually explicit conduct inside his home in May 2009, according to U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates and the complaint filed in court.
Davis worked for the White County Sheriff's Office at the time of the alleged incident and when he was arrested, but has since been fired.
He appeared before a magistrate Thursday afternoon, and his preliminary and detention hearings were set for Sept. 1.
