Bend Police have arrested a 17-year-old Bend resident on suspicion of possessing child sex abuse material (CSAM).

The arrest stems from a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children CyberTip that detectives received on Sept. 12. 

Bend Police detectives investigated the tip and identified the 17-year-old as the person who had accessed the CSAM and uploaded the material to a cloud-based storage device.

At approximately 3:10 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, Bend Police executed a search warrant at a home in the 63300 block of Stonewood Drive in Bend. Detectives seized digital devices as evidence. 

At that time, detectives took the juvenile into custody and transported him to Deschutes County Juvenile Justice on suspicion of multiple counts of first-degree and second-degree Encouraging Child Sex Abuse. This investigation is ongoing. 

Bend Police are investigating whether there may be local victims associated with this case.
