COLUMBUS, Ind. – Cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) led to the arrest this week of a Bartholomew County man for possession of child pornography.
The Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force began an investigation in January after receiving four cyber tip reports from NCMEC. The cyber tip reports indicated that a specific account user for four separate social media applications was possibly in possession of child pornography images and video files.
Based on information gathered during the inquiry, ICAC Task Force members executed a search warrant on Wednesday at a Spring Valley Drive address in Columbus.
Gavin Haight, 21, of Columbus, was arrested on four counts of possession of child pornography. The suspect was taken and remanded into the custody of the Bartholomew County Jail without incident.
