LITTLE ROCK – Attorney General Tim Griffin today issued the following statement after agents in his Special Investigations Division made two arrests within 24 hours in separate cases involving child pornography:
“Last night, agents from my office arrested Giovanni Ibarra, 25, of Sherwood on three federal felony charges: one count of production of child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography. Our investigation into Ibarra’s activities started after we received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The production charge in this case came from materials Ibarra produced involving a toddler.
“In a separate case this morning, agents from my office arrested Darien Trigleth, 39, of Conway on 150 counts of distributing, possessing, or viewing of matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child.
“Such unfathomable and despicable acts have no place in our society, and I will continue to bring the perpetrators of these horrific crimes to justice.”
Ibarra was booked into the Pulaski County Jail Tuesday evening and was released into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service today, when he made his initial appearance in federal court.
Trigleth was booked in the Faulkner County Jail.
