Officers were called to Golden Corral around 1 PM Sunday after reports that a man was taking photos of women in the restroom. Police say the suspect had left before they arrived, but with help from the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office, 22-year-old Dylan Ritchel of Altamont was located and taken into custody.

Ritchel was originally booked on charges of unauthorized video recording and disorderly conduct. After further investigation, detectives say they uncovered additional evidence and added charges including aggravated criminal sexual assault of a minor, manufacturing child pornography, and possession of child pornography.

Ritchel is due in court Tuesday morning to determine if he’ll remain in jail before trial.

Police Chief Kurt Davis thanked citizens who reported the incident, saying their quick action and the teamwork with officers helped remove a potential threat from the community.

The investigation is ongoing.
