WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. (WJHL) — A Georgia man was arrested by the Washington County, Virginia Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) after he allegedly drove to the county with plans to pick up a juvenile girl.

In a news release, the sheriff’s office announced William Phillip Stevens, 35, of Louisville, Georgia, was charged with 40 counts of taking indecent liberties with children and attempted abduction and kidnapping.

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

Stevens travelled to Washington County, “to a secluded area believing that he would be picking up a juvenile female and returning to Georgia with her,” the release states.

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.
