An investigation into child exploitation has led to arrests and charges. A task force received information in early August about individuals allegedly involved in downloading and distributing abusive material online. This prompted an inquiry that used search warrants to gather information from internet providers, social media, and technology companies.

The investigation, led by a specialized task force, worked with a police department to identify suspects. A detective had been part of the task force since June, aiding in the effort.

Further details about the investigation and arrests are available from the source.
