A Bluff City man is facing charges after an investigation by The Sullivan County Sheriff's Department.

31-year-old George Buckles is charged with five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

The investigation stems from information provided by The Internet Crimes Against Children Unit out of Morristown, Tennessee.

They informed local authorities that Buckles could be soliciting child pornography.

Deputies got a search warrant for his home and his computer was seized. Detectives say several images of child pornography were found on his computer.

Buckles has been released on a $35,000 bond.
