A former Tennessee deputy is facing a number of child sex crime charges in York County, South Carolina.
25-year-old Jonathan Nathaniel Allen – who has also gone by the names Josh Taylor, Josh Smith, and Top_Cry2744 – was charged after allegedly coercing a 13-year-old girl into sending him explicit photos and videos.
Records claim he told the girl he was 14.
A police affidavit says Allen used the Reddit and TextMe apps to communicate with the girl.
Allen was an officer with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office from 2021 until the investigation was launched in December 2024.
Because he had already completed his probationary period with the department, Sheriff Austin Garrett was required to follow Civil Service guidelines, granting Allen the right to due process and a pre-disciplinary hearing.
Following the hearing, Garrett told Allen, “You preyed upon a child, one of the most egregious things a person can do. You embarrassed this agency, you’ve lost the trust and embarrassed the people of this county and this office, and the men and women of the sheriff’s office who work here. You are fired effective immediately. If I could have fired you the day this was found out, I would have done it that day; however, I am mandated to give you this hearing and you’ve had it. You are fired effective immediately.”
He has now been indicted on two counts of production of child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography, and two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
