GAINESVILLE - A Tennessee man has been arrested in Gainesville as part of a computer sex sting operation.

Police say the arrest resulted from an ongoing undercover investigation.

They say William Wesley Franse of Knoxville thought he was speaking to a 15-year-old girl over the computer, when, in fact, it was a Gainesville Police investigator.

Officers say Franse drove to Gainesville to meet the "girl" for the purpose of having sex with her. He faces computer pornography charges.
