A Webster County man has been arrested on charges related to child sexual abuse material.
According to the Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime Branch, 31-year old Damien Belt was taken into custody as the result of an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigation that began after it was discovered he was sharing images of child sexual exploitation online.
State Police say the investigation resulted in a search warrant at a residence in Clay on Tuesday where equipment used to facilitate the crime was seized and taken to KSP’s forensic laboratory for examination.
Belt was charged with thirty-three counts of distribution of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance under 12 years old, thirty-three counts of possession of a matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance under 12 years old, and two counts of promoting a minor under 16 in a sexual performance.
Belt was lodged in the Webster County Detention Center.
