Paoli Man Arrested for Child Molestation and Possession of Child Pornography
A Cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) led to the arrest of a Paoli man for child molestation and possession of child pornography.
Detectives with the Indiana State Police - Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force in Sellersburg began an investigation in September 2024 after receiving a cyber tip report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The cyber tip report indicated that a specific account was possibly used to transmit child pornography images or video files.
Investigators requested a search warrant based on information gathered during the investigation. As a result, on Friday, October 4, 2024, members of the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at a Walnut Street address, (Paoli) in Orange County.
As a result of the investigation and search, Troopers arrested 30-year-old David Robertson (aka David Tuell) for one (1) count of Child Molestation, Level 1 Felony and three (3) counts of Possession of Child Pornography, Level 4 Felony.
Troopers arrested Robertson following the investigation and transported him to the Orange County Jail without incident.
The Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is a multiagency task force that investigates and prosecutes persons who use the internet to sexually exploit or entice children, and the Indiana State Police oversees the task force.
