Madison resident Timothy Waite II, 44, was arrested this morning after allegedly posting an AI-generated child sex abuse image on Discord, an online messaging platform.
Waite has two previous offenses of indecent assault, according to the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, and is listed there as an offender against children.
Detectives with the MNPD’s Special Victims Division arrested Waite at his home after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Waite is charged with aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, according to an MNPD press release, which stated that additional charges were also likely, and he is being held in place of a $45,000 bond.
The Tennessean will continue to provide updates on this story.
