Clarification: An earlier version of this article did not clearly articulate the suspect’s position within state government.

A state social services employee is accused of sexually exploiting a 15-year-old girl.

Mohammad Ghosheh, 24, was arrested Tuesday on 11 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of sexual exploitation of a minor.

The South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a missing 15-year-old girl from North Carolina was in contact with Ghosheh, according to the South Dakota Attorney General’s office Wednesday. No other details were provided.
