As a result of a search warrant executed last week at the residence of Jeff S. Henson on Peerless Road in Cleveland, Bradley County Sheriff’s deputies on Tuesday arrested Henson for the possession and distribution of child pornography.

The investigation was conducted jointly by the BCSO Internet Crimes Against Children Unit and the FBI’s Chattanooga Cyber Crimes Task Force. They were assisted by BCSO’s Drug Unit and Criminal Investigations Division.

Henson was taken into custody on warrants for sexual exploitation of a minor and aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. Earlier this month he was arrested by the Cleveland Police Department for aggravated sexual battery and was released after posting bond. With these new charges Henson was ordered to be held without bond in the Bradley County jail pending further court proceedings in both cases.

At this time the investigation is continuing.
