40-year-old Brenton Harris was involved in the spreading of sexual content containing children on December 7th, 2022. The Internet Crimes Against Children Program (IPAC) informed MNPD that they received a CyberTip from Bing. The tip informed them that a user with an IP address in Nashville had uploaded an image containing child sexual abuse. The image contained a prepubescent female committing sexual acts with an adult male.
Detectives issued a subpoena for the IP address, which returned to Harris’ residence. On May 15th, 2024, detectives conducted a knock and talk at Harris’ home and spoke with him. During his conversation with detectives, Harris admitted to remembering the image showcasing child sexual abuse. He also admitted to searching for underage pornography in the past. Harris was later taken into custody and charged with sexual exploitation of a minor on August 10th.
Brenton Tyler Harris was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 10th, charged with sexual exploitation of a minor. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $10,000.
