Canton Man Charged After Child Porn Found On Computer

CANTON, GA — A Canton man is facing charges after authorities say child pornography was found on his home computer Friday.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and the Homeland Security Investigations' Sexual Exploitation Unit searched a Ridge Brook Station home, where they say they found child pornography on Andrew Goodrick's computer.

Goodrick, 35, was charged on suspicion of four counts of sexual exploitation of children, authorities said. He was booked into the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center and was later released on a $22,800.00 bond, authorities said.

"The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office (Internet Crimes Against Children) Unit has an investigator assigned to the H.S.I. Sexual Exploitation Unit, which works tirelessly to protect children from exploitation by predators involved in the production, distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material," authorities said in a news release.
