A man accused of engaging in sexually explicit online communication with a child under the age of 14 has been locked up.

The Rankin County Sheriff’s Office reports that local, state, and federal authorities executed a search warrant at a home in the Ross Barnett Reservoir area of Brandon on Monday just before 7 a.m.

While executing the warrant, law enforcement handcuffed 33-year-old Kenneth Allan Beresh.

Though details remain slim, Beresh is currently charged with child exploitation. Officials are continuing to investigate this case, and additional charges could be announced at a later time.
