VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A metro Atlanta man who moved to Virginia has been arrested on child porn charges stemming from his time in Georgia.

Investigators executed a search warrant at Heine’s Conyers home, and they seized his electronic devices. Evidence investigators found on his devices led to investigators getting five arrest warrants for sexual exploitation of children.
By the time investigators got the arrest warrants, Heine had moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia.
