Special agents assigned to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force have arrested and charged an Athens, Tennessee man in connection to an ongoing child exploitation case.

On Monday, agents received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, concerning child sexual abuse material being uploaded by a Snapchat user, later identified as 27-year-old Kenterrius McGuffie.

Authorities detained McGuffie at his place of employment in Sweetwater, while agents and investigators from the 10^th Judicial District Drug Task Force, Athens Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the McMinn County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant at his Athens home.

Agents subsequently arrested McGuffie, charging him with 13 counts of aggravated rape of a child, 12 counts of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, and one count each of continual sexual abuse of a child and sexual exploitation of a minor (over 50 images).

Authorities booked McGuffie into the McMinn County Jail under a $400,000 bond.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information about this case should contact 1-800-TBI-FIND.
