DEKALB COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office said a Henagar police officer was arrested Thursday for sharing child sex abuse material.
Joshua Min Kwon, 40, of Henagar, is charged with Public Dissemination/Displaying Obscene Matter of someone under 17. DCSO said he was arrested and interviewed Thursday evening.
“A DeKalb County Investigator who is also assigned to the Alabama Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received a report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding a social media account that was used to share child pornography,” the sheriff’s office said.
During the investigation, DeKalb County Investigators and Special Response Team, along with ALEA, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, and the Department of Homeland Security searched a home in Jackson County early Thursday.

The sheriff’s office said the investigation continued and enough information was gathered to arrest Kwon.
