CONWAY, Ark. (KATV) — Attorney General Tim Griffin announced that Diego Santa Juarez of Conway is facing 30 felony counts of Distributing, Possessing, or Viewing Matter Depicting Sexually Explicit Conduct Involving a Minor.
Juarez, 19, was arrested by Griffin’s Special Investigations Division agents after receiving a cybertip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
“Earlier this week, special agents from my office arrested Diego Santana Juarez following an investigation thanks to a cybertip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). Special agents from SID executed a search warrant at Juarez’s residence, seized multiple devices, and uncovered sufficient evidence to charge Juarez with the 30 counts of possession of Child Sexual Abuse Materials. Juarez was then taken into custody and booked into the Faulkner County Detention Center,” said Griffin in a statement. “I am thankful for the tip from NCMEC that led to this arrest and for the valuable assistance of Homeland Security Investigations and the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Office in this case. Protecting Arkansas’s children and ensuring justice for victims will always remain a top priority of this office.”…
