(Greensburg, IN) – A Greensburg man is facing a preliminary charge of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (Level 5 felony) after members of the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force served a search warrant on the 1200 block of North Carver Street on May 28.
Indiana State Police say the task force began an investigation after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received cyber tips and flagged an online account.
Investigators eventually identified the suspect as 33-year-old Chad Bowen.
After the search warrant was served, Bowen was arrested and taken to the Decatur County Jail.
The State Police ICAC Unit and their K9 Titus; Indiana ICAC Task Force Officers; the ISP Digital Forensics Unit; U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and U.S. Marshals Service assisted in the execution of the search warrant.
The ICAC Task Force is a multiagency organization led by ISP.
The task force serves to conduct investigations into reports of child sexual exploitation, enticement by predators, and the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM); apprehend and prosecute offenders; and educate the public on how to prevent online child victimization.
Each year, Indiana ICAC investigators from around the state evaluate thousands of tips, investigate hundreds of cases, and rescue dozens of children from ongoing sexual abuse.
The Indiana ICAC Task Force encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
The NCMEC website can be accessed through the ICAC Task Force website.
To report a crime with your child as a victim involving the Internet or other electronic means, please contact your local Indiana law enforcement agency.
