Two Buckingham County men face a combined 17 child pornography charges after a trio of raids in the county in late September and early October.
Carl Wayne Potts has been charged with 13 counts of possessing child pornography, and James Carl Lawrence Jr. with another four.
The Buckingham County Sheriff’s Office, in tandem with the Virginia State Police, executed a search warrant on Sept. 18 at a property in the 3000 block of South Constitution Route north of Dillwyn. That raid resulted in Potts’ arrest.
While Potts was taken into custody, he has since been released on bond.
On Oct. 2 and 3, the sheriff’s office executed additional search warrants at a property in the 100 block of Dunkums Court south of New Canton. Lawrence was arrested as a result of that raid.
Lawrence remained in custody as of Sunday at Piedmont Regional Jail in Prince Edward County.
Both raids were the result of tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
