Georgia Dad Accused in Hot-Car Death Indicted for Sexual Exploitation of Minors

The Georgia father accused of intentionally leaving his toddler to die in a hot car two years ago was indicted Friday on new counts involving the sexual exploitation of minors, NBC New reported.

Justin Ross Harris is now facing an additional two counts of sexual exploitation of children and six counts of disseminating harmful material to minors, his attorneys said.

The charges stemmed from an investigation into the June 2014 death of Harris’ 22-month-old son, Cooper. He is accused of exchanging lewd photos with two underage girls and sending nude photos to another underage girl, and then engaging in sexually explicit conversations with all three from January to May 2014. 

Harris is set to go on trial in April on multiple murder-related charges, including malice murder and felony murder, and cruelty to children.
