EATON, Ohio (WDTN) - A computer repair business tipped the Preble County Sheriff's Department to a case of child exploitation.

Deputies investigated and arrested Martin Burnett, 52, of Eaton.  They confiscated Burnett's computer and storage data.

Investigators believe the images were downloaded from the internet.
