The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Anchorage, Alaska, recently arrested Michael Koetter on charges of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material and Coercion.
Koetter is originally from Indiana and investigators believe he may have additional victims in and surrounding Marion County.
Koetter, of Eagle River, was arrested by the FBI on criminal charges related to his alleged possession of child pornography and attempted coercion of a minor.
According to court documents, Koetter, 28, possessed child pornography depicting minors as young as toddlers. He also allegedly attempted to induce, entice, or coerce a minor to engage in sexually-explicit behavior by seeking out girls under 12 years old that “have rates,” which is a term often used in the commercial sex industry referring to the price to perform sex acts or purchase sexually explicit images.
Potential victims or anyone with information is urged to contact FBI Anchorage at 907-276-4441 or online at tips.fbi.gov.
FBI agents and the U.S. Attorney's Office would greatly appreciate assistance spreading Koetter’s photos and information, as well as FBI contact information, so they can identify potential victims.
