On June 12, 2024, detectives with the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) arrested a Elkhart County man on alleged charges of possession of child pornography.
This investigation by the Indiana State Police ICAC Task Force began when a tip was received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The tip ultimately led to a search warrant being served on a residence located in the 3100 block of Birch Drive in Elkhart, IN, by the Indiana State Police.
As a result of the investigation, Joshua Grosenbacher, 28, was arrested for eight counts of Possession of Child Pornography, Level 5 Felony, and two counts of Possession of Child Pornography, Level 6 Felony. Grosenbacher was transported to the Elkhart County Jail.
The Indiana State Police oversees the ICAC Task Force, a multiagency task force that investigates allegations of using the internet to sexually exploit or entice children.
The ICAC Task Force encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation, and enticement-type crimes against children to the National center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). The NCMEC website can be accessed through the ICAC Task Force website.
