21-year-old southern Indiana man arrested on child pornography charges

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Seymour, Indiana, man is facing child pornography charges after police received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Indiana State Police arrested Samuel Diego-Nicolas, 21, on Sept. 13, according to a news release.

Diego-Nicolas has been initially charged with felony possession of child pornography and a misdemeanor charge of possession of false government identification, after police found multiple fake governmental identification cards during a search.

ISP Versailles Post began an investigation in July 2023 after receiving the tip.

The investigation led detectives to determine an individual at a home on Peak Avenue in Seymour was in possession of child pornography. Police executed a search warrant on the residence, but Diego-Nicolas wasn't there. He was located at a difference residence.

Diego-Nicolas is currently being held in the Jackson County jail.
