Hall County sheriff’s investigators arrested a Gainesville man Friday and charged him with two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) says 23-year-old William Landrum English was taken into custody after investigators executed a search warrant on his home in northwestern Hall County.
Acting on a cybertip, investigators with HCSO’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit determined English possessed a video of an adult woman involved in sexual activity with a minor male victim, says an HCSO spokesperson.
“English also shared the video via his Snapchat account,” says HCSO Public Information Officer BJ Williams.
Authorities charged English with one count for allegedly possessing the video and another for allegedly distributing it.
Williams says additional charges are possible pending a forensic review of electronic devices seized from the residence.
Authorities arrested English on Friday, Dec. 13, and booked him into the Hall County jail, where he remained late Friday without bond.
