On Tuesday, October 12, 2010, Christopher Carroll, age 25, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was arrested at Buford, Georgia after traveling from Charlotte, N.C. to meet with what he thought were two underage boys for the purposes of having sex. Carroll, a store manager at a Charlotte area CVS/Pharmacy store, was arrested by FBI agents and officers assigned to the Atlanta FBI Safe Child Task Force and has been charged via federal criminal complaint on charges related to the attempted sexual exploitation of a minor child.
