John Joseph Varn, 32, of Greenville, has been arrested on five charges connected to the sexual exploitation of minors.

Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office made the arrest, and investigators with the Attorney General’s Office assisted with the investigation.

Agustin Vargas, 51, of Spartanburg, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sexually abusing a child.

On March 24, Vargas pleaded guilty to Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor in the second degree. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison and will be placed on the sex offender registry.
