A registered sex offender in Nashville has been arrested after allegedly downloading sexually explicit photos of children on his mobile device.

36-year-old Randall Grosvenor was charged with sexual exploitation of a minor. Police found him through Google after the search engine sent a report to the Metro Nashville Police Department after learning that 10 sexual images of girls around 6-years-old were uploaded to an email address belonging to Grosvenor.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's website, Grosvenor has been on the sex offender registry list since 2002 when he was charged with aggravated sexual battery.
