HARRISON, Ark. — On Tuesday, October 8, 2024, an Arkansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigation led to the arrest of a Harrison man for 50 counts of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), among other charges.
Members of the task force, including Arkansas State Police Special Agents and Harrison Police officers, executed a residential search warrant following a National Center for Missing & Exploited Children cyber tip.
During the investigation, agents found the suspect, Justin Neal Perkuhn, 38, of Harrison, had initiated a graphic sexual chat with a 17-year-old girl. During the chat, Perkuhn exchanged nude images of two minors. Agents also discovered Perkuhn had uploaded 34 videos and six images of CSAM to a cloud-based storage server.
A search of Perkuhn’s cell phone revealed several more CSAM images, videos and information that allowed officers to identify and locate two victims living in the area.
On October 9, 2024, ICAC agents arrested Perkuhn and transported him to the Boone County Detention Center, where he was booked and charged with 50 counts of Possession of CSAM, one count of Computer Exploitation of a Child, one count of Video Voyeurism of an Adult and one count of Video Voyeurism of a Child.
Perkuhn is being held on a $750,000 bond.
