The LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office said a detective with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force identified suspected child sexual abuse material online.

Search warrants executed through multiple platforms led investigators to a juvenile suspect in rural LaPorte County.

The teen was arrested Friday and is facing multiple charges, including child exploitation, possession of child sexual abuse material, and conspiracy to commit rape.
