An Aiken man has been arrested on three charges connected to the sexual exploitation of a minor. 

Mount Pleasant Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigators arrested Brett Alan Crowe, 46, on March 20 on three charges of criminal solicitation of a minor, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced Monday. 

Crowe solicited a person he believed to be a minor for sex, investigators said in a news release. 

Criminal solicitation of a minor is a felony offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison. 

Crowe was convicted on similar charges in Georgia in 2012. 

The Aiken Department of Public Safety, Aiken County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Marshals Service and the state Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force assisted in the investigation.  

Wilson's office will prosecute the case.
