CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. — A Delphi man was arrested on child pornography charges Thursday.
An investigation conducted by members of the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force led to charges against 55-year-old Daniel Norfleet.
According to a news release, the investigation began following a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
ISP said detectives gathered "sufficient" information to issue a search warrant for Norfleet's home. On April 11, 2023, detectives seized various items from his home.
In those seized items, authorities said they found child sexual abuse materials.
The findings were presented to the Carroll County Prosecutor's Office, which then issued an arrest warrant for Norfleet.
He was arrested and charged with nine felony counts of possession of child pornography.
Anyone with information related to internet crimes against children is encouraged to contact their local law enforcement agency or visit the Indiana ICAC Task Force website.
Child abuse and neglect resources
If you think a child is being abused or neglected, call the DCS Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1-800-800-5556.
If you can, provide DCS with the following information:
- Who was involved
- What occurred
- When and where it occurred
- The extent of any injuries sustained
- Any other relevant information
Even if you don't know all that information, DCS urges you to call and report if you suspect a child is a victim of abuse or neglect. State law requires DCS to protect the identity of those reporting abuse or neglect allegations, so you can remain anonymous.
There is more information available at the Indiana Department of Child Services website.
If you would like to help victims of child abuse and neglect, Kids' Voice of Indiana has a Court-Appointed Special Advocate program. This lets volunteers advocate for child victims who don't have another trusted adult to stand up for them. You can learn more about the CASA program here. Kids' Voice estimates more than 3,100 kids in Marion County need help from a CASA volunteer.
