NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Nashville man has been arrested after an investigation found he had traded and sold child pornography on social media.
Jamar McGavock, 27, was arrested by Metro Nashville police Tuesday after the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force received a tip about his Instagram account in July 2024.
The tip included several conversations with one of McGavock’s accounts where he had offered child sexual abuse material (CSAM) for sale to other users, according to court documents.
Investigators discovered the accounts’ display and usernames used slang terms and acronyms commonly used by CSAM distributors to identify themselves.
The ICAC unit obtained a search warrant for the account and discovered files and chats discussing the sale and trade of child pornography. Officers tracked the IP address used by the accounts to a home in Nashville.
Investigators believe McGavock was the owner of two accounts that distributed child sexual abuse material, a phone number registered to the accounts and a Cashapp account where payments were received for the material.
McGavock was arrested and faces charges of sexual exploitation of a minor. He is being held in Metro jail on a $25,000 bond.
