Indianapolis, IN
Joseph H. Hogsett, the United States Attorney, announced today that
former FBI agent Donald J. Sachtleben, age 54, of Carmel, has been
charged by criminal complaint with possessing and distributing child
pornography.
“The mission of our Project Safe Childhood initiative is to
investigate and prosecute anyone found to engaged in the sexual
exploitation of children,” Hogsett said. “Today’s announcement
underscores this serious commitment and should make clear that no matter
who you are, you will be brought to justice if you are found guilty of
such criminal behavior.”
According to the criminal complaint unsealed today, federal and state
law enforcement became aware of an individual allegedly trading images
of child pornography online in September 2010. An extensive
investigation into that individual led to the arrest of a defendant in
Illinois in January 2012. Upon arrest, a forensic search of that
defendant’s computer equipment and e-mail accounts allegedly revealed
that he had been actively trading such materials online with numerous
other people.
