Special agents with the Arkansas State Police’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit have arrested two Cherokee Village residents in connection with multiple child exploitation offenses, authorities said.
34-year-old Jesse Wilson was taken into custody on March 13 following a search warrant prompted by a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, according to state police. Wilson faces 40 felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, along with charges of possession of firearms by certain persons. He is a Level 3 registered sex offender.
In a related case, ICAC agents arrested 30-year-old Rebecca Huffmaster on May 5. She is charged with two felony counts of conspiracy to commit rape of a child under 14 and two counts of sexual grooming of a minor.
Both suspects are being held at the Sharp County Detention Center. Authorities said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be filed.
