The Oregon Department of Justice’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, along with the Southern Oregon Child Exploitation Team (SOCET) served a search warrant yesterday morning in South Ashland.

Investigators served the warrant Wednesday at a residence on Neil Creek Road in Ashland after discovering Child Sexual Abuse Material images were uploaded from the address. Investigators interviewed possible witnesses and involved parties, and investigations are ongoing.

Law enforcement began their investigation after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children which led to subpoenas, followed by the search warrant at the residence.

Investigators seized digital devices which will be forensically examined by ODOJ Forensics for further evidence of child exploitation. No further details will be released at this time.
