ISLE OF WIGHT, Va. (WAVY) — A Newport News man targeted a juvenile from Isle of Wight County in a child sexual abuse material case, authorities say.

The Isle of Wight Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that 38-year-old Aric Charles Hutson faces multiple felonies in the case.

The sheriff’s office says the investigation started back in August 2023 after they were tipped about a possible child exploitation offense. Isle of Wight investigators were able to get search warrants for Hutson’s electronics and found child sexual abuse images related to a single victim.

Authorities said Hutson had multiple images of the victim dating back to 2022 that were obtained without the victim’s knowledge or consent.

Hutson was taken into custody in Surry County and is being held at Western Tidewater Regional Jail.
