MARSHALL COUNTY, Ind. -- The Marshall County Sheriff's Department reports a year-long investigation led to the arrest, charging, and conviction of a 30-year-old Concord, N.H. man.

Authorities say on June 25, 2024, a detective with the sheriff's department obtained information about a 13-year-old girl, the victim, who had allegedly been in contact with a New Hampshire man, identified as Austin Holton, through Snapchat.

The report states the victim had been sending nude pictures to Holton.

Holton was alleged to have been blackmailing the victim into sending him more photos.

Following a multi-jurisdictional investigation, probable cause was established and an arrest warrant in New Hampshire was issued for Holton.

Holton was arrested and initially charged with seven counts of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Images, all Felonies, two counts of Criminal Solicitation for the Manufacture of Child Sexual Abuse Images, both Felonies, and two counts of Certain Uses of Computer Services Prohibited, both Felonies.

Holton has since been found guilty of five counts of Possession of Child Sex Abuse Images.
