Hall County sheriff’s investigators arrested a Buford man after discovering he possessed multiple images of child pornography, officials say. Investigators say 20-year-old Seth Daniel Marx shared at least one of the images.
Marx was arrested on September 12 and charged with 11 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. He remains in the Hall County Jail with no bond.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, the initial investigation began in February following a cyber tip.
During the course of the investigation, authorities determined Marx was in possession of a video depicting young children being sexually assaulted. The sheriff’s office says Marx shared that video on an instant messaging platform. After seizing the suspect’s phone, investigators said they found nine more videos containing lewd images of children on it.
Investigators do not believe any of the victims are from the local area. The GBI assisted with the investigation.
