 A Maury County Grand Jury handed down a 469 count indictment against seven individuals involved in a child sex exploitation ring.
An investigation began in February by the Maury County Sheriff's Office along with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security.
Officers made the arrests after an investigation of disturbing images of child sex acts showed up on the social media sites and on cell phone videos.
Clinton Shawn Gransden and Michelle Klen are the alleged ring leaders and investigators identified Gransden after he reportedly had sex with a child and the images were captured on the cell phones of Jesse Smity, Connie Copley and Angel Morales Depasquale.
In addition, a video was found on Christopher Sayre's phone, of which the child was identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and Julie May Johnson was found to have exchanged pornographic images of children within the group.
The members of the ring face various charges including aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor.
