A Tell City man was arrested Monday on child exploitation and pornography charges stemming from an investigation by the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Deputies with the Perry County Sheriff’s Office arrested 33-year-old Derek S. Voges on five counts of child exploitation, a level four felony, and seven counts of possession of child pornography, a level five felony.
Back in January, the force began an investigation into the crimes after receiving a cyber tip report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip indicated that a specific account was possibly used to possess child pornography, according to police.
Investigators executed a search warrant on a residence in Tell City in April, which eventually led to Voges’s arrest. His initial hearing is scheduled for this afternoon.
The state police task force encourages residents to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at missingkids.org.
