A 25-year-old man, Christopher Dalton Williams, has been arrested by the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina on four counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. The arrest follows an investigation initiated after a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Williams is currently being held at the Rockingham County Detention Facility under a secured bond. The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not released additional details at this time.
