Newberry man arrested for child sexually abusive material

SUTTON

MARQUETTE — A Newberry man was arrested for child sexually abusive material Monday following an investigation conducted by the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Glenn Sutton, 46, was arraigned on 35 charges Tuesday, a press release from the Michigan State Police states.

The investigation stemmed from a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Cyber Tip. Further investigation led to the identification of Sutton and the locating of his residence in Lucy County. A search warrant executed at his home netted multiple internet capable devices and evidence.

Sutton has been charged with two counts of child sexually abusive activity-aggravated distribution, nine counts of child sexually abusive activity-aggravated possession, five counts of child sexually abusive activity-distribution, one count of child sexually abusive activity-possession and 18 counts of using a computer to commit a crime. Sutton was released on a personal recognizance bond.

If convicted Sutton faces 15 years in prison for the aggravated distribution charges, 10 years in prison for the aggravated possession charges, seven years in prison for the distribution of child sexually abusive activity, four years in prison for the possession of child sexually abusive activity and up to 20 years in prison for using a computer to commit a crime.

The MSP continues to investigate whether additional crimes were committed. Contact the Computer Crimes Unit (CCU) at 877-642-9237 if you have any information to share.

The CCU encourages parents to speak with children and family members about the safe use of the internet.
