WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. (WJHL) — Authorities from the Washington County, Virginia Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) apprehended a Georgia resident after suspicions arose that he intended to collect a minor girl from the area.

A statement from the sheriff’s office revealed that William Phillip Stevens, 35, hailing from Louisville, Georgia, faces charges including 40 counts of taking indecent liberties with children, as well as attempted abduction and kidnapping.

According to the WCSO, Stevens was arrested Tuesday after an online investigation into child exploitation.

According to the release, Stevens arrived in Washington County, targeting a remote location under the belief that he would find a young girl there to accompany him back to Georgia.

Stevens was arrested without incident, and the investigation remains ongoing as of Friday with Georgia authorities.

The WCSO encouraged parents to be present in their childrens’ lives and online activities and be aware of the dangers on the internet.
