Bloomington man arrested Thursday on charges of child exploitation

 

A 19-year-old Bloomington man was arrested Thursday for the alleged possession of pornographic images of children.

Bloomington Police Department detectives received a tip March 6 and started investigating images found on a website, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Shane Rasche said.

Detectives received information March 8 that allowed them to trace the account back to Johnny Hunt. Detectives also found his home address.

After being issued a search warrant March 28, detectives met with Hunt at his home and found a laptop and flash drive in his bedroom.

Both the flash drive and his phone had pornographic images of children 12 years old or younger on them, Rasche said.

Hunt was arrested on the preliminary charge of child exploitation.
