This case began in September when the Glynn County Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division got a tip about possible crimes happening in the area.

Detectives got a search warrant for a home on the 3900 block of Darien Highway. There, they took away several electronic devices that they believe were used in the crimes.

James is being charged with having child sexual exploitation materials, trying to lure kids for indecent acts, and grooming a minor for sexual purposes.

Police say these charges come from evidence they found during their investigation that links James to illegal activities involving children.

After searching the home, detectives questioned James and then took him to the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center.

Police say the investigation is still ongoing.
