An Upstate man is facing a dozen child sex crime charges. The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office says Michael Joseph Waltman was arrested at him home, Thursday.

A cyber tip line report led deputies to investigate Waltman. Investigators claim that he used a social media account to send child sex abuse material. Waltman is charged with 10 counts of 2nd degree sexual exploitation of a minor, one count of the same crime in the 1st degree, and voyeurism.

If convicted Waltman faces a potential of over 100 years in prison.
