A 25-year-old Fluvanna man was arrested on Wednesday (Nov. 20) on charges related to internet crimes against children.
Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office Captain Aaron Hurd said the department executed “multiple search warrants” at a residence in the 3000 block of West River Road near Scottsville and seized “electronic evidence” at the scene.
Timothy Tyler Gregory was charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and first-degree statutory sexual offense. He is also facing a charge of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor in North Carolina, which is seeking his extradition.
While details of the case were not available at press time, Hurd said the case was coordinated with the Johnston County (NC) Sheriff’s Office, the North Carolina Bureau of Investigation, and assets from both the Louisa and Albemarle Sheriff’s Offices, which works with Fluvanna as part of the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Gregory is at the Orange County Regional Jail, where he is currently being held without bond. He is scheduled to appear in Fluvanna County General District Court on Nov. 25.
The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information about the case is urged to contact Lieutenant Custer or Investigator Brennan at the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office at 434-589-8211.
