TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Indiana State Police arrested a Terre Haute man Tuesday after a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
According to a news release from Indiana State Police, NCMEC sent a tip to the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force in July 2024 that reported a specific account that had possibly received child pornographic images or videos. Detectives Mike Laney and Ryan Winters of the Putnamville State Police Post began an investigation that resulted in an arrest warrant from the Vigo Superior/Circuit Court.
Noah A. Phillips, 45, was taken into custody on Tuesday without incident and is currently being held in Vigo County Jail. He is being charged with eight counts of possession of child pornography, a level 4 felony.
The ICAC encourages Hoosiers to report crimes against children to the NCMEC.
