Multi-Agency Investigation into Child Exploitation Resulted in Ashland Arrest
A multi-agency investigation into child exploitation and internet crimes against children has resulted in the arrest of a 21-year-old Ashland man.
Early Tuesday morning, the Ashland Police Department -- working alongside the Medford Police Department, Talent Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Jackson County District Attorney's Office, Oregon Department of Justice, Homeland Security and Southern Oregon High Tech Crimes Task Force -- served a search warrant on Alida Street in Ashland.
One suspect -- Donovan Jesus Aquino -- was arrested on two outstanding warrants and lodged at the Jackson County Jail.
Ashland Police Chief Tighe O'Meara said this significant action underscores the continued commitment of local, state and federal agencies to combat child exploitation and to protect vulnerable individuals.
Chief O'Meara said further details will be shared as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available.
