The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said on Wednesday that they've arrested an Ardmore man in connection with an ongoing child exploitation case.
According to the TBI, in 2023, agents received a tip about a man using an online messaging platform to talk about sexually abusing children and sharing images depicting the crimes.
On March 18, a Lincoln County Grand Jury indicted Larry Cunningham, 64, with several charges including:聽
- One count of sexual exploitation of a minor - over 100 images
- Two counts of aggravated sexual exploitation - over 25 images
- 32 counts of especially aggravated production
- 32 counts of aggravated unlawful photography
- 12 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure
- one count aggravated child abuse
Cunningham was booked into the Lincoln County jail on $1 million bond. He has since bonded out of jail.
