A 51-year-old man from Augusta, Georgia, has been arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of children. Martin Lindner was taken into custody on Wednesday after an investigation by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, based on a case received through the Internet Crimes Against Children network.
According to the incident report, authorities executed a search warrant at Lindner’s home on Storey Drive. During the search, investigators discovered four videos depicting minors, aged between 2 and 5 years old, being sexually abused by unknown adults. The arrest warrants indicate that Lindner possessed these videos for his own gratification.
Lindner is currently being held at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center on charges of sexual exploitation of children. The case is part of an ongoing effort to combat child abuse and exploitation.
Authorities continue to encourage vigilance in identifying and reporting suspicious online activity to protect vulnerable children from exploitation.
