SCSO: Bluff City man arrested after allegedly uploading child pornography

Sullivan County investigators have arrested a Bluff City man accused of uploading more than 100 child pornography images.

Paul Russell Johnson Jr., 54, is currently charged with two counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and other charges are pending as the investigation continues. Authorities were first alerted to Johnson’s alleged actions by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and during a search of his home Monday, several electronic devices were seized including one that was used to upload the expletive images.

Johnson is being held on a $10,000 bond in the Sullivan County jail.
