A Campobello man is being held by Spartanburg County authorities on suspicions of downloading child pornography, according to a release from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.

Jordan St. Clair Perry, 28, of John High Road, Campobello, has been charged with 10 counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. He was arrested following a search of the suspect’s residence by authorities with the sheriff’s office on Wednesday. 

According to police officials, a Spartanburg County Sherriff’s Office investigator assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children task force began an investigation on Dec. 3, after receiving a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an individual in Spartanburg County was downloading child pornography. That investigator, along with Homeland Security, identified and located the suspect, and their investigation led to a search warrant being executed at the suspect’s residence this week.

The suspect confessed to the allegations, and all his electronic devices were seized as evidence, police said.

Perry will be prosecuted by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office.
