LOUISVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A Louisville man is charged with sexual exploitation of a minor after a joint online investigation.

The Blount County Sheriff's Office says 34-year-old Ronald Grant Spires is charged with one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.

For a number of weeks, several agencies conducted an online investigation into Spires' alleged activities.

He was taken into custody Wednesday morning at his home.

He is being held on a $25,000 bond pending a hearing on Oct. 10.

WELL I SAW IT COMING AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL SHOW GRANT THAT THIS IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR SHOULD NOT BE REPRESENTING THE PUBLIC. I DO BELIEVE HE CAN RECIEVE HELP BUT DEFINITELY A LOT OF PRAYER

Sorry to hear that about Grant. We were in the same High School. And somehow, I'm not very surprised by this either.
