The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation made an arrest in Coffee County for multiple accounts of Child Exploitation.

The TBI’s Cybercrime and Digital Evidence Unit charged a man in Lincoln County in an ongoing investigation into child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

The investigation began back in 2024. Agents have now identified 38-year-old Jonathan Christopher Keller as a suspect behind uploads of this material.

Keller is a resident of Fayetteville in Lincoln County. Agents secured warrants to charge Keller with seven counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.

Keller was located in Manchester, Tennessee and taken into custody on Feb. 3, 2025. 

After transferring him to Lincoln County, Keller was placed in the county jail where he is being held on a $140,000 bond.
