BERTIE COUNTY, N.C. (WAVY) – A man was taken into custody Sept. 30 after a cybertip revealed over 500 child abuse sexual materials in his possession, according to the Bertie County Sheriff’s Office.
Following the tips deputies received, a search warrant at the residence on Williford Circle and multiple electronic devices containing confirmed child abuse sexual material were discovered.
The suspect, 24-year-old Devin Keith Huckabee, has been charged with 20 felony counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.
“I want to personally thank the SBI and the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office for their outstanding assistance during this investigation,” said Sheriff Tyrone M. Ruffin. “Crimes involving the exploitation of children are some of the most disturbing and complex cases we face, and our top priority is always to protect our youth.”
Additional charges may be brought against Huckabee following a forensic review of all electronic devices seized.
