The State Police have arrested Joshua Carter for accessing and sharing child pornography online. The investigation began after tips were received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which also spurred an investigation by an agency in North Carolina. Police allege that Carter distributed explicit content on Discord, a social media platform popular among young adults and gamers. A search of Carter’s home led to his arrest, and he was taken to the Lawrence County Jail. He faces multiple felony charges for distribution and possession of child pornography, along with pending charges in North Carolina.
