Middleburg man arrested in exploitation probe


Posted

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit, with assistance from the Northeast Florida INTERCEPT Task Force, have made an arrest stemming from a child exploitation investigation.

On March 19, the CCSO SWAT Unit served a search warrant to a residence on Lazy Acres Road in Middleburg, and the occupants were detained without incident. While the home was processed for evidence, detectives and Dept. of Children and Family Services interviewed the occupants.

As a result of this investigation, probable cause was developed to arrest one of the occupants, Charles Peter Browne, for one count of Custodial Sexual Battery. Browne was booked into the Clay County Jail; however, the investigation was still ongoing. Anyone with information that might be of assistance in this investigation is encouraged to contact Detective Eva Solis at esolis@claysheriff.com or by phone at (904) 673-5892.
