(Madison, Ind.) - Madison Police received a complaint on October 12 from a parent who had discovered an ongoing sexually graphic conversation and a nude adult male on their child's phone. 

According to Madison Police, the victim was less than 12 years old at the time of the alleged offense. 

The child’s phone was taken to the Dearborn County High Tech Crimes Unit where a forensic extraction of the device was carried out.

That led to identifying the suspect as Brandon Janvrin, 31, of St. Petersburg, Florida.

At the conclusion of the investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Janvrin, and St. Petersburg authorities took him into custody on October 19.

On November 4, 2026, Jefferson County Sheriff Ben Flint and Detective Ryan Harrison traveled to St. Petersburg and brought Janvrin back to Madison, where he was booked at the Jefferson County Jail on charges of Child Exploitation (Level 5 Felony), Child Exploitation (Level 3 Felony) and Disseminating Matter Harmful to Minors (Level 6 Felony).

Janvrin’s bond was set at $250,000 cash by Jefferson Circuit Court Judge D.J. Mote. He currently remains incarcerated at the Jefferson County Jail.
