Jackson County man facing child pornography charges

A Medora man is facing nine child pornography charges after a search by Indiana State Police Tuesday.

Indiana State Police say that the investigation by the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began in December after a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That investigation led to a search warrant being serfved at a home in the 9000 block of West U.S. 50 near Medora.

The search uncovered child pornography on electronic devices and on social media belonging to 19-year-old Paxston A. Allman. He was arrested and taken to the Jackson County Jail on nine charges of child pornography.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department also assisted in the investigation.

The task force encourages you to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement crimes against children to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
