LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Tim Griffin today issued the following statement after agents in his Special Investigations Division (SID) arrested Elijah Terrell Johnson, 19, of Cabot on three felony counts of pandering or possession of visual or print medium depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child:
“On May 23, SID executed a search warrant of the property after receiving six cyber tips from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. One suspect, a minor, was arrested on May 23 for uploading Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). After conducting a digital forensic examination of the seized devices, SID determined that one of the cell phones recovered at the property belonged to Johnson and contained CSAM. On June 6, special agents from my office obtained an arrest warrant for Johnson, who was arrested and booked in the Lonoke County Jail. I would like to thank the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in this arrest.
“Safeguarding our most vulnerable remains one of our highest priorities, and my office will continue to pursue justice for those who have been exploited.”
