HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — A Maryland man is charged with soliciting a minor and possessing child pornography in connection to his relationship with a Hanover County teen.

The suspect was identified as Dustin Lee Hopkins, 23, of Cumberland, Maryland, who attends college in North Carolina.
Investigators say Hopkins solicited nude photos from the victim multiple times.
Hopkins was taken into custody by the Pasquotank Sheriff's Office in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and extradited to Hanover County on Tuesday.
He is currently in the Pamunkey Regional Jail and charged with six counts each of solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography.
