UNION COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Over the past several months, the Union County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, initiated an undercover chat operation targeting online predators.

During the operation, Jackson Henderson, of Lexington, North Carolina, arranged to travel and meet with a 14-year-old female to engage in sexual acts.

On July 25, Henderson was arrested by the Union County Sheriff’s Office and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation at his residence in Lexington for Solicitation of a Child by Computer.

Henderson later satisfied the conditions of his bond and was released from custody.

Investigators continued their investigation into Henderson’s online activity and later discovered that he was distributing and receiving Child Sexual Abuse Material. As a result, Henderson was additionally charged with 10 counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Exploitation of a Minor by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Henderson was arrested again in Davidson County on these additional charges as part of the ongoing investigation.
