A grand jury indicted a Cherokee County man arrested on child pornography charges, officials said.

Howard Azar, 51, is charged with sexually exploiting children, Cherokee County sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Jay Baker said.

Cherokee County deputies arrested Azar last May after a nine-month investigation.

Investigators say they seized computers and hard drives from Azar's home.
