A former school system employee was indicted months after a GBI child exploitation sting, The Rome News-Tribune reported.

Jeffrey Ryan Lance, 26, was indicted Friday on a felony charge of obscene internet contact with a child, the paper reported. Lance was one of eight men indicted on the charge.

The paper alleges Lance arranged for sex with people online they thought were minors. Lance was arrested March 14 after he allegedly went to a location to meet a child for sex.

The Floyd County School District subsequently fired Lance from his position in the facilities department, Superintendent John Jackson said.
