(New Albany, Ind.) - Over the past week, Indiana State Police arrested two Floyd County residents on child pornography charges after separate investigations led by the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes against Children task force (ICAC).

On Tuesday, February 25, 2020, a New Albany man was arrested in a case that began in November of 2019. Indiana State Police Investigators received a tip from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, leading officers from the Sellersburg ICAC Task Force to interview David Hilliker, 37, of Green Valley Road in New Albany.

Officers also requested and were granted a search warrant for his residence based on information gathered. As a result of the investigation, Hilliker is charged with Possession of Child Pornography and Dissemination of Child Pornography. Both charges are felonies.

On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, ISP Sellersburg ICAC investigators served a search warrant at a New Albany residence on a separate and unrelated case. This case began in July of 2019 after investigators obtained information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

A juvenile male was taken into custody in this case for charges that would equate to Possession of Child Pornography if charged as an adult.

Both investigations are ongoing. Investigators incarcerated David Hilliker at the Floyd County Jail without incident.
