Nashville man charged with sexually exploiting baby

Metro police have charged a Nashville man with sexually exploiting a 3-month-old relative.

Police said officials began investigating Michael S. Delk in the early morning hours of July 18, when officers responded to the Roadway Inn on Murfreesboro Pike on a call that reported Delk had assaulted his wife.

Delk was arrested and during a follow-up investigation, police said, officers were made aware that Delk's cellphone contained sexually explicit photographs of himself with the 3-month-old relative, along with pictures of 32 other children engaged in sexual activity.

Delk has been jailed in lieu of $76,000 bond on charges of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual exploitation of minors. Metro police said additional charges against Delk are anticipated.
