Stephen W. Covert, 43,  was booked into the Vigo County Jail around 11:30 a.m. on the child porn charges. He remains held in the jail with no bond allowed.

The investigation began in March, when a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) was received by the The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force 

Indiana State Police Sgt. Matt Ames said officers served the Vigo County Division 6 Court warrant at 2200 Garfield Avenue this morning.
