GAINESVILLE, Ga. - The Hall County Sheriff's Office said a child pornography investigation led to charges and the arrest of a Gainesville man on Tuesday.
A spokesperson said authorities arrested 26-year-old Hyeonuk Kim and charged him with four counts of electronic exploitation of a minor. The investigation revealed he distributed at least two explicit videos with his computer on Dec. 16.
Investigators seized some of Kim's electronic devices when executing a search warrant at his home on Washington St. NW in Gainesville prior to his arrest. Authorities could file more charges after the devices are analyzed.
