Wisconsin Man Apprehended after Police Busted Child Porn Material on His Devices after Receiving Tip
Racine, WI: A Racine man was arrested for possessing child pornography after detectives discovered thousands of photographs and videos.
According to the Racine County Sheriff’s Office, officers launched their investigation in May after receiving multiple internet tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The inquiry was based on many downloads of child sexual assault materials, sometimes known as child pornography.
The child pornography was seized and traced back to a Racine residence.
During the inquiry, officers gathered sufficient evidence to obtain a search warrant for the residence.
On Monday, July 22, investigators and computer analysts from the Wisconsin Department of Justice carried out the search order at the house.
Investigators identified 71-year-old Robert J. Castaneda as the individual in possession of the child pornography.
Investigators used K9 Stella to acquire a large number of electronic storage devices containing over 10,000 photographs and videos of child pornography.
Castaneda was arrested and sent to the Racine County Jail, where he is being held on a $760,100 cash bail as per Fox News.
