A Wabash County man has been charged with possession of child pornography.

On Tuesday, detectives with the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICACTF) made the arrest following an investigation that began when a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) was received by the ICAC Task Force. The tip ultimately led to a search warrant being served on a residence at 344 Elm Street, Wabash, by the Indiana State Police; with assistance from the Wabash City Police Department. After a subsequent search, officers located multiple electronic devices.

Peter James Nelson, 46, of Wabash, was arrested and transported to the Wabash County Jail on preliminary charges of three counts of Possession of Child Pornography, Level 5 Felony

The Indiana ICACTF was assisted by the Wabash County Prosecutor’s Office and the Wabash City Police Department.
