Steuben County man arrested for child pornography

STEUBEN COUNTY – On Friday detectives with the Indiana State Police, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) arrested a Steuben County man on charges of possession of child pornography.

The investigation began after the Indiana State Police ICAC received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) which led to a search warrant being issued for a residence in the 600 block of South CR600 West, Angola. That search was executed by the Indiana State Police with assistance from the Department of Homeland Security (HSI), and the Angola Police Department ICAC.
