The investigation identified Kaleb Mormance of Vancouver as a suspect
VANCOUVER – On Friday (May 2), the Vancouver FBI relayed information to the Vancouver Police Department Digital Evidence Cybercrime Unit (DECU) that their law enforcement partners in Utah had served a search warrant on a subject running an online server chat room. This chat was geared at attracting people involved in sexually abusing kids with the specific ages of 0-9. During Utah’s examination of the devices, they located what appeared to be newly produced content. The investigation identified Kaleb Mormance of Vancouver as a suspect.
Investigators from DECU, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Vancouver Police Department Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), the Children’s Justice Center (CJC) and the Vancouver Police Department Special Investigations Unit (SIU) located Mormance in Vancouver and took him into custody. He was booked into the Clark County Jail for 17 felony charges including Rape of a Child as well as various charges of Child Exploitation (manufacturing, distribution and possession of child sex abuse material).
This investigation is continuing and nothing additional is releasable at this time.
This investigation highlights the important collaboration between law enforcement partners across the country who work together to protect children and hold their abusers accountable.
