Man Accused Of Victimizing 15 Minors

Thanks to a Facebook post

A Dry Ridge man is being accused of collecting sexual images from more than a dozen minors. 

Twenty-five-year-old Tyler Day was charged this week with 16 counts, including use of a minor in a sexual performance. 

The Kentucky attorney general, Andy Beshear says a Facebook tip led to Day.

Through the Facebook Messenger app, Tyler Lee Day sent sexual images of himself, requested sexual images of children and, in some cases, received them, authorities said in a news release.

Beshear's office received a tip about Day from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That prompted a seven-week investigation by the Department of Criminal Investigations Cyber Crimes Unit, along with help from Williamstown police and the Grant County Sheriff's Office.
