The Junction City Police Department has reported the arrest Thursday morning of Dale Alan Holvorson, 49, Junction City on suspicion of 14 counts of Distribution of Child Pornography and 20 counts of Possession of Child Pornography.

According to Detective Lieutenant Jeff Childs, the JCPD, with the assistance of the Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Wichita Police Department, served a search warrant at 1412 West 11th Street in Junction City. The search warrant was served after an investigation into the alleged possession and distribution of child pornography.

Childs said the JCPD received a complaint from the Sedgewick County Sheriff’s office, who is a member of the Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, “on the images that they had captured during the process of an investigation involving child porn. ”

Childs stated,” During the police department investigation Mr. Holvorson was found to be in possession of child pornography and believed to have distributed child pornography in about 20 counts.” On the  alleged distribution of child pornography Childs added that it meant he was “sending it out over the internet.”

Childs said the JCPD had investigated the case for approximately two weeks, but how long the illegal acts had been occurring authorities are unsure of at this time. He noted that Holvorson does have a previous conviction on similar charges in Sedgwick County, and is currently on probation in that case.

No more arrests are expected in the Junction City case. Holvorson is expected to have a first appearance in Geary County District Court on Friday.
