MADISON, Ind. – A southern Indiana man was taken into custody on a warrant for possession of child pornography following a year-long investigation by Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigators.
Jefferson County deputies arrested 42-year-old Ryan K. Adams of Madison on Monday evening following an investigation that began in April 2023. Task force officers allege Adams shared child pornography images with an undercover detective.
In May 2023, detectives served a search warrant on Ryan Adam’s residence and analyzed digital devices recovered during that search. On March 22 of this year, the Jefferson County Superior Court issued an arrest warrant for the suspect for five counts of Possession of Child Pornography. Each charge is a level 5 felony.
On Monday, March 25, Adams was at his residence without incident. He was transported to the Jefferson County Jail, where he is held on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
The Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is a multiagency task force that investigates and prosecutes persons who sexually exploit or entice children over the internet. The Indiana State Police oversees the task force.
The Indiana ICAC Task Force encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
