Gville man charged with child sex crime

A 35-year-old Gainesville man was taken to the Hall County Jail after he was arrested on
charges of sexual exploitation of a minor Wednesday.

HALL COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE (HCSO) NARRATIVE:

“Toby Deran Wehunt was taken into custody…on six felony charges, three for possession of child sex abuse material (CSAM) and three for distribution of CSAM. There is no evidence any of the children depicted in the three images in Wehunt’s possession are local victims.

Investigators with the Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Internet Crimes Against Children
(ICAC) Unit received several cyber tips from the social media platform Discord, alerting
them to suspicious activity on an account that was traced to Wehunt. Investigators served
a search warrant at Wehunt’s residence on Boy Scout Camp Road and seized several
electronic devices.

The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are possible in the case.”
