Charles Owens charged with multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a minor
21-year-old Charles Owens was taken into custody for three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor on January 25th. Officers received a NCMEC CyberTip on March 5th, 2023, stating that the user named “BiTribs69” sent an image containing child sexual abuse material, CSAM, to another user, which showed a nude pubescent minor female in various states of being exposed. A subsequent investigation found Owens to be the likely owner of the account. On January 4th, officers conducted a scheduled interview with him at his residence in Davidson County. Owens admitted that the account was his and that he possessed CSAM images. He consented to a search through his iPhone, where they located more CSAM images. He advised them that similar material may be on his iPad, which he allowed them to seize. On January 5th, a search of the devices yielded more than 100 CSAM images on each device. Charles Owens was taken into custody and charged with 3 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $150,000.
