A Barrow County man was in jail Monday awaiting bond on 41 charges of sexual exploitation of children, officials said.

Shane Murphy was arrested Thursday at his residence at 1200 Bridge Crest Drive in Winder, Barrow County sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Ryan Sears said.

Investigators obtained a search warrant after an Internet Crimes Against Children case led to Murphy. An electronic device was found with numerous videos of child pornography.
