Stone Mountain man charged with exploiting children online

Dec 2, 2011

A 23-year-old Stone Mountain man is accused of possessing an extensive amount of child pornography, DeKalb County police said Friday.

Saahir Foux was arrested Thursday, two days after DeKalb police detectives executed a search warrant at Foux's Hunters Drive home in connection with an ongoing online child exploitation investigation, a news release said.

Computer hard drives were seized in that search, and investigators determined that Foux had an "extensive amount" of child pornography, police said.

Foux is in the DeKalb County Jail charged with sexual exploitation of children.
