In a recent development, Cody Wilson, 31, was taken into custody on Friday for allegedly committing aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. Wilson’s arrest is part of a broader crackdown on online child exploitation and sextortion in Tennessee, with a dozen individuals apprehended in February as part of the operation. Authorities discovered that Wilson had been actively involved in the distribution and exchange of child sexual abuse material on various online platforms.
Following a thorough examination of his personal devices, Wilson faced an additional charge related to the illicit activities. He is currently being held at the Maury County Detention Center, with bail set at $75,000. The arrest underscores the ongoing efforts to combat crimes against minors and ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals in the digital realm.
