A Hays man was arrested late last month on exploitation and drug allegations.

Sean Robert Morris, 28, Hays, was arrested April 30 on suspicion of sexual exploitation of a child, two counts of contributing to a child’s misconduct, suspicion of distribution of a depressant within 1,000 feet of a school and violation of the state’s sex offender registration act.

According to Assistant Chief Brian Dawson of the Hays Police Department, the victim was a female under the age of 18.

Morris is a convicted sex offender stemming from a case in Colorado, according to Assistant Ellis County Attorney Crystalyn Oswald.

Oswald said the case remains under investigation.

Morris is being held in Ellis County jail in lieu of a $95,000 bond.
