LITTLE CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) — The Fox Valley Metro Police Department says they have been made aware of recent comments and concerns in online forums regarding their handling of a Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) case in the Village of Little Chute.
The case involved a child predator investigation group that operates on various social media platforms. This organization is claiming the FVMPD failed to investigate a case, which allowed a suspected child predator to remain in the community. FVMPD says this is false, and that the case has been investigated thoroughly, and charges have been forwarded to the Outagamie County District Attorney’s Office.
ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) investigators generally avoid working directly with independent online child predator-catching groups because their methods can jeopardize criminal investigations and make successful prosecutions more difficult.
