The Knox County High Tech Crime Unit assisted Jasper Police in a child pornography investigation.

After receiving multiple complaints of related cyber tips last month in reference to the crime, detectives with the Jasper Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began a lengthy investigation.  The information gathered led police to 32-year-old Kyle Lee Eason of Ireland, Indiana.

Detectives searched Eason’s home Monday and with help from the Knox County High Tech Crime Unit along with an electronic storage detection K-9, multiple electronic devices were seized. Eason was arrested and booked into the Dubois County Security Center.   He faces a total of 7 felony counts of child exploitation, in addition to a total of 23 counts of felony possession of child pornography.

Police say the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are possible.
