A Gadsden man was arrested last week on sexual abuse and child pornography charges.
30 year old Thomas Aaron Craig,  is charged with one count each of sexual abuse of a child under 12, production of pornography with minors and possession of child pornography, all of which are felonies. He was booked into the county detention center on a $150,000 bond.
According to the sheriff's office, Craig is accused of abusing a 9-year-old girl over a two-year span. An investigation was launched after the victim told her teacher about the alleged abuse following a sexual battery presentation she saw at her school. The teacher alerted sheriff's investigators and the Etowah County Department of Human Resources.
During their investigation, authorities reportedly discovered more than 35 pornographic photos on Craig's cellphone.
An end of year assembly at an Etowah County School led to craigs arrest.
Sherrif Todd Entrekin said Craig gave deputies permission to look in his phone, and a forensic investigation discovered more than 35 pornographic photographs.
