The Indiana State Police, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, initiated a criminal investigation after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an online account had been used for child exploitation.

The investigation revealed the owner of the online account to be Timothy Stutzman, 60. After reviewing the results of the investigation, the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office issued warrants for Stutzman’s arrest.  Stutzman was arrested by the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department on November 17, 2022 and taken to the Marshall County Jail on 7 counts of possession of child pornography.
