KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Blount County man is in jail facing sexual exploitation of a minor charges, after several child porn videos were found on his computer, according to a news release from the Blount County Sheriff's Office.

"Payne’s arrest is the result of an undercover on-line investigation by the Sheriff’s Office HEAT (Hi-Tech Evidence and Technology) Unit, as part of ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children)," Marian O'Briant wrote in the news release.
