DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga.—A statewide sex offender compliance initiative has led to the arrest of a registered sex offender on 16 new felony charges related to the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Donehoo was booked into the Douglas County Jail on a total of sixteen warrants, including:
- Eight counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children
