Henderson, Ky. 5/18/22— Just before 5PM on Wednesday, the Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime’s Branch arrested Tyler V. Dyer, 22 of Henderson, on charges related to child sexual abuse material. The arrest was the result of an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigation conducted by the KSP Electronic Crime Branch.

According to the press release, the Electronic Crime Branch began the investigation after discovering the suspect sharing images of child sexual exploitation online. The investigation resulted in a search warrant at a residence in Henderson on May 18th. Detectives say equipment used to facilitate the crime were seized and taken to KSP’s forensic laboratory for examination. The investigation is on-going.

Dyer is currently charged with twenty counts of possession of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance under 12 years of age (Class-C felonies punishable by five to ten years in prison), seventy-nine counts of possession of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance and twenty counts of distribution of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance (Class-D felonies punishable by one to five years in prison). Dyer was lodged in the Henderson County Detention Center.

The Kentucky Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is comprised of more than twenty-six local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. The mission of the ICAC Task Force, created by the United States Department of Justice and administrated by the Kentucky State Police, is to assist state and local law enforcement agencies in developing a response to cyber enticement and child sexual abuse material investigations. This support encompasses forensic and investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, prevention and community education. The ICAC program was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the internet, the proliferation of child sexual abuse material, and the heightened online activity of predators searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims.
