Columbus man accused of possessing child pornography

A Columbus man was arrested Thursday on a charge of possession of child pornography after a four-month long investigation.

Indiana State Police are reporting that the investigation by the Indiana State Police-Internet Crimes Against Children Unit began in April after a cybertip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That investigation led to a search warrant being served yesterday at a home on South Cherry Street in Columbus.

31-year-old Bradley K. Burton was arrested after the search on a felony charge of possession of child pornography.

The Indiana State Police-ICAC Unit was assisted by the Indiana State Police-Cyber Crimes Unit and Crime Scene Investigator Sgt. Martin Mead, Indiana State Police-Versailles Post.
