Over the course of the investigation, agents obtained and executed a search warrant at a home in Goodlettsville where they found a cellphone that had pictures of child pornography on it, according to investigators.
The TBI later identified 28-year-old Scott McConnell of Anderson, Indiana, as the suspect.
In November 2023, investigators said the Davidson County Grand Jury returned indictments charging McConnell, 27 years old at the time, with two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
On March 26, 2024, McConnell was booked into the Madison County (Indiana) Jail on a $10,000 bond.
