SURRY COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) -- A man has been charged with numerous counts of sex crimes against children.
According to Surry County Sheriff's Office, a month-long investigation led them to arrest Mark William Combs, 37, of Mount Airy.
Combs is charged with 65 counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, five counts of statutory sex offense, five counts of indecent liberties with a minor, five counts of crime against nature, one count of first-degree kidnapping, one count of statutory rape of a child under fifteen and one count of incest with a child.
This investigation began after Surry County Sheriff's Office received a cyber-tip from the FBI and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office in Wisconsin.
On Nov. 4, deputies from Surry County and officials from the State Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant of Combs' Mount Airy home.
Additional charges could be filed. Combs' electronic devices were taken during the investigation.
“These types of investigations are extremely emotional, time-consuming, and lengthy," Sheriff Hiatt said.
Combs received a $3,900,000.00 secured bond.
