Jaylin William Patton, 19, of Hollywood, is charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor to the second-degree and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor to the third-degree.

Investigators with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received a CyberTipline report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which led them to Patton. They said he allegedly distributed and possessed files of child sexual abuse material.

Each count is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Attorney General’s Office investigators, the Mount Pleasant Police Department and Homeland Security investigators assisted the Task Force with the investigation.
