On Friday, 12/15/17, MNPD went to the Waffle House on Conference Drive in Nashville to speak with employee David Alred, age 38. He was informed that he was not under arrest, and did not have to speak to MNPD, he stated he understood and agreed to speak. He then admitted to uploading sexual images of minor children to Google, Tumblr, Dropbox, KIK, and other social media platforms and cloud storage accounts. Alred also admitted that he was going to have sexual images of minor children on his cellphone.
A search warrant was executed on the defendant, seizing his cell phone. During a preview of the cell phone, over 100 sexual images of prepubescent boys were located in the photo gallery. some of the pictures depicted boys as young as infants being forced to perform fellatio. All of the images were of prepubescent boys and they were either engaged in sexual activity or showed the lascivious exhibition of the genitals as defined in T.C.A. Code 39-13-1002. Alred was taken into custody, and additional charges are pending.
A review of David Alred’s social media groups reveals he was a member of many groups for ‘Dads’ where information/photos are shared of dads and their sons:
Alred is being held on a $100,000 bond, and has a review hearing on 12/19/17.
I’ve seen this man before. I’ve eaten in that Waffle House with my family, including my 4 year old son. Something never felt quite right about him which caused me to quietly seek another place to eat with my family instead of going there. I hope he gets a lot of help…. permanently…. behind bars…. forever.
Has there been any development or followup info on this case?
