Members of the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force served a search warrant in the 1200 block of N Carver Street in Greensburg following an investigation involving a Greensburg resident allegedly possessing child sexual abuse material.
Detectives from the ICAC Task Force initiated the investigation after receiving multiple cybertips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about a particular internet account likely in possession of child sexual abuse material. ICAC detectives immediately began working to identify the owner of the account and to confirm that the media was child sexual abuse material. During the investigation, the task force identified the suspect as Chad Bowen, 33.
Following the serving of the search warrant, Bowen was arrested and transported to the Decatur County Jail, where he is preliminarily charged with Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material - Level 5 Felony.
The Indiana State Police ICAC Unit and their K9 Titus, Indiana ICAC Task Force Officers, the Indiana State Police Digital Forensics Unit, US Department of Homeland Security Investigations(HSI), and US Marshals Service assisted in the execution of the search warrant.
The Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is a multiagency task force led by the Indiana State Police. The task force serves to conduct investigations into reports of child sexual exploitation, enticement by predators, and the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM); apprehend and prosecute offenders; and educate the public on how to prevent online child victimization. Each year, Indiana ICAC investigators from around the state evaluate thousands of tips, investigate hundreds of cases, and rescue dozens of children from ongoing sexual abuse.
