A former youth ministry intern from Dawsonville faces nearly three dozen child pornography charges in connection with an investigation that originated earlier this year in neighboring Forsyth County.
According to Dawson County jail records, more than 30 warrants were issued Friday for Sean E. Paul, 28. He was arrested on Monday.
Paul has been charged with 32 counts of sexual exploitation of children and a single count of child pornography, all felonies.
He also faces charges of child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes and electronically furnishing obscene material to a minor in Forsyth County.
It was his March arrest in Cumming that led investigators to his Richmond Drive home, where Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten said “a significant amount of child pornography” was found on electronic and computer equipment.
